For my Application Need to get a Wikipedia Page based on a List of Weighted Keywords(Sometimes this List can contain only 1 Word). It is Critical for my application that the first Result be the most Relevant Document. For this purpose I decided to use Elasticsearch. So I indexed Wikipedia Following this instructions: > **[Loading Wikipedia's Search Index For Testing](https://www.elastic.co/blog/loading-wikipedia)** > > Load Wikipedia's real search index and experiment with it! My Approach so far is to use query's based On the following Scheme: GET /\_search?explain=true { "size": 3, "query": { "multi\_match": { "query": "(United States)^5.6", "fields": [ "text", "title^3", "redirect^2" ], "phrase\_slop": 2, "type": "cross\_fields", "use\_dis\_max": true } } } } My Problem is the Following: The First Result of the query is "These United States" which is a rock band. So my Questions Are : How Can i Change my Query so "United States" is the First Result. And is Using multi march Query the Suitable Approach for my needs ? ---

> [@Imed\_Ben\_Ghozi](#): > > How Can i Change my Query so "United States" is the First Result. Do an exact match on the title as well as what you are searching for, I think that means searching on `title.plain` which uses the `keyword` analyzer. Make sure to give it a high boost, like 10x whatever you are giving for title. > [@Imed\_Ben\_Ghozi](#): > > And is Using multi march Query the Suitable Approach for my needs ? Yes. ---

Thanks for the Tip with `title.plain`. But looking through the explanation of the results i figured that MultiMatch queries don't support phrase Boosting so it looks like that i need to use QueryString. ---

Multimatch supports a `type` parameter: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-multi-match-query.html#multi-match-types](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-multi-match-query.html#multi-match-types) You can use a `bool` query with a `should` clause with both queries to get it. Or go with a rescore over the top N hits to attempt the phrase query. ---
