Greetings, dear Community. It would be great if somebody can help me. We have n-types in index, every type has own set of columns(fields). When I want to search above all index, I need to configure relevance depending on type and type field. How can I do it? Thank you for your attention. ---

What do you mean by "configure relevance depending on type and type field"? Do you want to customize `TF*IDF` per type/field? If so, [follow these instructions](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/changing-similarities.html) and change the similarity per mapping. Do you want to control the matching process by customizing analyzers? Well you can [do that too](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/custom-analyzers.html). Or do you want to control how different fields are weighted/boosted. Well there's [that too](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/query-time-boosting.html). But that covers basically an extremely broad range of capabilities, so I'm not sure what you mean. There's also a [whole book](http://manning.com/books/relevant-search) (disclaimer: that I wrote) that covers relevance in Elasticsearch you might want to check out. DM me for a discount code. ---

I mean, I have index with two types like "Contacts", and "Account", they both have "Name" field, how can I boost field "Name" in "Contact" higher than "Name" in "Account"? ---
