Currently, I'm trying to put a constant score according to the fields that have matched.

So, I want to assign a particular score if:  
the query matches in a particular field + boolean value on another field.

for it would be like:

```auto
query in field_1 match + boolean_field:true -> 1.0
query in field_1 match + boolean_field:false -> 0.9
query in field_2 match + boolean_field:true -> 0.75
query in field_2 match + boolean_field:false -> 0.65
query in field_3 match + boolean_field:true -> 0.5
query in field_3 match + boolean_field:false -> 0.4
query in field_4 match + boolean_field:true -> 0.25
query in field_4 match + boolean_field:false -> 0.15

```

My query goes something like this. I wanted to ask if there was any better way of writing it ([http://dpaste.com/3WGQHXG](http://dpaste.com/3WGQHXG)). (EDIT: if you wrap your code blocks in ``` then they will syntax highlight and code block format the blocks.)

```auto
