``` Hi, I have read only access to an ElasticSearch 0.90 version with a huge ``` collection of Brazilian Official Gazette pages. ``` We are using that to search for people names like "Gisele Bundchen". ``` Our search is something like this: - {\* - ``` "from": 0,* ``` - ``` "size": 2,* ``` - ``` "query": {* ``` - ``` "query_string": {* ``` - ``` "query": "\"Gisele Bundchen\""* ``` - ``` }* ``` - ``` }* ``` - }\* ``` And I found 30 pages, for instance. But most of them are useless to us. ``` I would love to rank the results based on some key-words, let's say "legal settlement", "jail" and "lawsuit". So I tried the following search: - { "from": 0, "size": 2, "query": { "query\_string": { "query": ""Gisele Bundchen"^5 "legal settlement"^1 jail^2 lawsuit^2" } } }\* ``` I got a ranked result, but now I have five million pages instead of 30 ``` from the first result. ``` I could use AND instead of OR, but I don't want to risk missing any ``` relevant results. ``` Would you have any ideas on how to fix that? Thanks a lot! ``` -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You could do something like _"+"Gisele Bundchen"^5 "legal settlement"^1 jail^2 lawsuit^2"_ which would mean results must have Gisele Bundchen while others are optional and help in ranking results.
