Hi, I will try to explain my problem: I have a request "A B C" where A, B and C are 3 common words. this words are present in a lot of documents. The most important document for this request contain the 3 words one time and they are adjacent. The document has a bad score and I would like to boost it. Any idea ? Is-it possible to apply a word distance boost ? Is it possible to index "A B C" has one word ? Thanks for your help -- ---

Hello! Will phrase query help in your case ? You can configure slop, which gives you control over how distant the words can be from each other to consider them as a phrase. Wrapping that with a custom score would boost the documents you are interested in. _--_ Regards, Rafał Kuć Sematext :: [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) _:: Solr - Lucene - Nutch - ElasticSearch_ Hi, I will try to explain my problem: I have a request "A B C" where A, B and C are 3 common words. this words are present in a lot of documents.

Ok, so now i have 2 queries : 1- Using "Query phrase" : "query": { "match": { "\_all" : { "query" : "$KW", "type" : "phrase", "slop" : "1" } } } On Friday, December 21, 2012 3:51:59 PM UTC+1, Rafał Kuć wrote: > Hello! > > Will phrase query help in your case ?

Ok, so now i have 2 queries : 1- Using "Query phrase" : "query": { "match": { "\_all" : { "query" : "test", "type" : "phrase", "slop" : "1" } } } 1- using Query string "query": { "query\_string" : { "fields" : ["faq\_titre","faq\_contenu", "forcage"], "query": "test" } } Now I want to combine the queries. If I understand your answer I should use the custom score but I am not sure to understand how it works.

You can wrap the two queries in a bool query and optionally supply a query time boost to each clause: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
