Hi, I have a query as below : "multi\_match" : { "query" : "_happy_", "fields" : [_"DISPLAY\_NAME^8_", "_PERFORMER_"], "type": "_phrase\_prefix_", "operator" : "AND" } Result return in the following order: 1) "\_score": 2.1704028, "\_source": { "DISPLAY\_NAME": "_Happy_man", 1. "\_score": 1.4312989, "\_source": { "DISPLAY\_NAME": "Boishakh (Version 1)", "PERFORMER": "_Happy_", 1. "\_score": 1.2510761, "\_source": { "DISPLAY\_NAME": "Franzl Im Happysound", "PERFORMER": "Franzl & Die Psayrer", 1. "\_score": 1.0920545, "\_source": { "DISPLAY\_NAME": "_Happy_", "PERFORMER": "Diandra Arjunaidi" As the result shown why the #4 have lesser score computed as i already added a boost in the "DISPLAY\_NAME^6" field. Is that the boost not working for multimatch phrase query ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

The boost you define in the 'multi\_match' query is not being show in the explain results, so it is not being applied to the score. It should be displayed in the weight, i.e. "description": "weight(DISPLAY\_NAME^8:happy in 33593) [PerFieldSimilarity], result of:" The 'phrase\_prefix' type is the issue, if you remove that type the boost will be applied. So it doesn't look like you can combine 'multi\_match' boosting with the 'phrase\_prefix' as the type.

Hi Dan, Good to know that.

Hi Dan, Been trying to use edgengram analyzer but i don't understand why it produce the result in the following order : 1. "DISPLAY\_NAME": "Happy Talk" 2. "DISPLAY\_NAME": "Happenings", I suppose the longer the text ("Happy Talk") it should have lower the scores ? \*The query that i use : \* { "explain" : true, "query" : { "multi\_match": { "query": "_hap_", "fields": ["DISPLAY\_NAME.AUTOCOMPLETE^6", "PERFORMER.AUTOCOMPLETE"] } }, "sort" : [{ "\_score" : { "order" : "desc"}}] } _The result :_ > _The mapping :_ "DISPLAY\_NAME": { "type": "multi\_field", "fields": { "AUTOCOMPLETE": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "edge\_ngram\_keyword\_lowercase\_analyzer", "include\_in\_all": false }, "NAME": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "standard", "include\_in\_all": false } } }, "PERFORMER": { "type": "multi\_field", "fields": { "AUTOCOMPLETE": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "edge\_ngram\_keyword\_lowercase\_analyzer", "include\_in\_all": false }, "NAME": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "standard", "include\_in\_all": false } } }, \*And the analyzer settings: \* { "jdbc\_dev": { "settings": { "index.analysis.analyzer.string\_lowercase.filter": "lowercase", "index.number\_of\_replicas": "1", "index.version.created": "900299", "index.number\_of\_shards": "5", "index.analysis.analyzer.string\_lowercase.tokenizer": "keyword", "index.analysis.tokenizer.my\_edge\_ngram\_tokenizer.token\_chars.0": "letter", "index.analysis.tokenizer.my\_edge\_ngram\_tokenizer.min\_gram": "2", "index.analysis.tokenizer.my\_edge\_ngram\_tokenizer.token\_chars.1": "digit", "index.analysis.tokenizer.my\_edge\_ngram\_tokenizer.type": "edgeNGram", "index.analysis.tokenizer.my\_edge\_ngram\_tokenizer.max\_gram": "5", "index.analysis.analyzer.edge\_ngram\_keyword\_lowercase\_analyzer.filter.1": "lowercase", "index.analysis.analyzer.edge\_ngram\_keyword\_lowercase\_analyzer.filter.0": "my\_edge\_ngram\_filter", "index.analysis.analyzer.edge\_ngram\_keyword\_lowercase\_analyzer.tokenizer": "keyword", "index.analysis.filter.my\_edge\_ngram\_filter.type": "edgeNGram", "index.analysis.filter.my\_edge\_ngram\_filter.min\_gram": "2", "index.analysis.filter.my\_edge\_ngram\_filter.max\_gram": "30" } } } Thanks.
