Hey, I'm trying to find a way in ES or in Lucene to change the scoring of a multi -value field. Today it looks like that the multi-value field is being treated as bag of words. I want to be able to calculate the score per each value in the multi-value and use the max scored value in the document score at the end. For example: 1. id: 1, Title: "new Sony Playstation", "ps 3", "game console for TV" 2. id: 2, Title: "Sony Playstation", "console game 3", "brand new Playstation 3" 3. id: 3, Title: "Brand sony console", "Best console sony playstation", "new sony playstation 3" Input keywords: "sony, "new", "playstation" The order of the result should be: #1, #2, #3 ES will return the results as follow because #2, #3 has more keywords and #1 has other keywords in the title which aren't relevant to what I'm searching: id: 2, Title: Sony Playstation, console game 3, brand new Playstation 3 id: 3, Title: Brand sony console, Best console sony playstation, new sony playstation 3 id: 1, Title: new Sony Playstation, ps 3, game console for TV Is there any specific query or customization I can do in order to change the scoring? The only way I thought about is to break these title into different documents which doesn't look like the best solution but it seemed like there is no other option. Thanks, Itay -- ---
