Hey @Rishabhdeep_Singh,

This is a fairly general question, but you can look into defining a [function score](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html) achieve this. Once your results are scored, you can sort on the `_score` field to get the results in the proper order.
