Hi,

I have some issues when fetching the results.

I want the result to be order exact as i give

```auto
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "should": [{
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "127"
                }
            }, {
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "111"
                }
            }, {
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "131"
                }
            }, {
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "106"
                }
            }]
        }
    }
}

```

Right now you are asking for all four documents in order sorted by score but your query doesn't provide useful scores. If you had a full text query in there then you'd get a useful score. You could try `boost` to get them in a particular order:

```auto
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "should": [{
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "127", "boost": 4
                }
            }, {
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "111", "boost": 3
                }
            }, {
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "131", "boost": 2
                }
            }, {
                "match": {
                    "movie_id": "106", "boost": 1
                }
            }]
        }
    }
}

```
