I'm a newbie of ES but I have a question below is my document {"id" : 1, "title" : "Mr", "firstname" : "Money" , "lastname" : "Gold"} {"id" : 2, "title" : "Mr", "firstname" : "Silver" , "lastname" : "Money} {"id" : 3, "title" : "Mr", "firstname" : "Platinum" , "lastname" : "Bronze"} And I query data via API that developer provides as below and I cannot change query format but I can change index structure or rebuild it { "query": { "filtered": { "query": { "match\_all": { } }, "filter": { "and": [{ "or": [{ "bool": { "must": { "terms": { "firstname.raw": ["Money"], } } } }, { "bool": { "must": { "terms": { "lastname.raw": ["Money"] } } } }] }, { "bool": { "must": { "terms": { "title.raw": ["Mr"] } } } }] } } } } That return id no. 1 and 2 and both score is 1, so I want to set priority "firstname" field higher than "lastname" field. Is this possible? How can I do? Please advise me..... Thanks Hiko -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

More information: When I call API I send parameters as below "firstname" : "Money", "lastname" : "Money", "title" : "Mr" Assumption : The key field is "title" and "firstname" and "lastname" fields will be used "OR" condition everytime I call via API -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

A filter does not participate in scoring. But using [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html) [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html) you can assign a score to a filter.

Hi David Thank you for your information, more question; Can I set "boost" or priority on each fields in mapping? if I use "term query" instead of "term filter".
