Hi,
I am trying to create a general search on my site that users can start typing in a name and it will search three indices, an event, an organizer and a city list. Currently I have
GET /events,city_lists,organizers/_search
{
"query": {
"multi_match" : {
"query": "los angeles",
"type": "bool_prefix",
"fields": [ "name", "name._2gram","name._3gram" ]
}
}
}
this works and delivers los angeles back first. However, I want city_lists to be my lowest priority so if the user types in chaos
GET /events,city_lists,organizers/_search
{
"query": {
"multi_match" : {
"query": "chaos",
"type": "bool_prefix",
"fields": [ "name", "name._2gram","name._3gram" ]
}
}
}
it returns
{

"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 3,
"successful" : 3,
"skipped" : 0,
"failed" : 0

As you can see the event is number 5 and the cities that arent even spelled the same as chaos are returning above the event. I was hoping to fix this using priority
GET /events,city_lists,organizers/_search
{
"query": {
"multi_match" : {
"query": "los angeles",
"type": "bool_prefix",
"sort": [
{ "priority" : {"order" : "desc"} }
],
"fields": [ "name", "name._2gram","name._3gram" ]
}
}
}
but this gives me the error
"reason" : "[multi_match] unknown token [START_ARRAY] after [sort]",
How so I set it up so a user gets shown events with the highest priority, then organizers and finally city_lists when searching across multiple indices and still have a similar search as you type results returned?
