Manually adjusting document sort based on queries

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

For specific queries I want to be able to manually set the sort of some
search results. Without going into the reason why, how do I implement this?
I'm not talking about boosting, I'm talking about manually setting the sort
position based on specific query.

E.g. if users searches for "Green Military Shirts" I want to set product X
to position 1, product J to position 2. All other search results would
sorted as usual.

It appears I've answered my own question unless someone has a better
suggestion in terms of efficiency and logic. The function_score Query
(function_score Query | Elasticsearch: The Definitive Guide [master] | Elastic)
will allow for boosting specific documents based on the query. Several
different predefined methods or I can create my own custom script.

Easiest option, in terms of complexity, would probably be to use a bool
query, where product x and y are matched by an id query with high boosts.

Best option is probably the function score query:

Create a filter for each product and replace the score with something
arbitrarly high.

You could get detailed by using a custom script, but it will not be as
efficient.

Cheers,
