Hi! I have created an multi\_field index with one field analyzed (with edgengram, min:3, max:15) and the other one not. Then i am doing a multi match on this and get relevant hits.I am doing this to find exact matches which seems to work. So far so good, however how do i separate hits that are "really" relevant (i.e the words are equal but might be in another order etc) to my search string and "false-positive" results from the ngram which can have very different meaning. An example would be: _query_:Crankshaft position sensor _hits_:Position Sensor, Crankshaft This is a very good and similar results and the score is equal to max score. However i can not determinate and draw any conclusion rom oly compare the score value becuase another example could yield the same score but should not rank as hight becuase the meaning is different. _query_:Motoroil _hit_:Motorblock This is "not relevant" but ofcourse originates from the ngram. The hit score is equal to Max score. Of course i could increate the min and max on the ngram but it seems usefull for other cases so not really an option.

Can you simply boost the non analyzed field? If the scores are still too similar, try using a dis\_max query with the non analyzed query getting a higher boost: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
