Hi, Is it possible to use indices\_boosting parameter to boost specific aliases ? Thanks ---

From what I read [here](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/4756) ([https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/4756](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/4756)) this seems to be an open issue for aliases. ---

Thanks for your reply, I saw that but I was wondering why nothing came up in almost 2 years. If there's a workaround for instance or someone facing the same issue to discuss it, it could be nice. Have a nice day ---
