How to implement something different than term frequency ranking? When user types "_italian restaurant with wi-fi at 5th avenue_", I want to find document with: _address_ (string) - 5th avenue _kitchens_ (array of strings) - italian _categories_ (array of strings) - restaurant _fields.name_ (string) - wi-fi (exists only when wi-fi = true) "with" and "at" are already added to stopwords. In Sphinx it was done by using proximity\_bm25 ranking mode. How can I achieve the same result with ES? -- ---

Heya, you already posted a question about it on the google group, if you are missing something, continue that thread and don't post the same question again, but with even _less_ information. Its going to be harder for the community to properly help you as now there are two threads to possibly answer.

Кирилл, I think extremely high scores that you are getting might be caused by index time boosting and multi-valued fields. Try switching to query time boosting. Take a look at this example: [relevance.sh · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/b62f45dcf28a5c030e67) and see if it works for you.
