Struggling with understand how to add boost if a field is true

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a set of documents that have a field user_verified that is either
true or false. When executing a disjunction max query I want documents
where the user_verified is true to be given a boost.

I thought the answer was constant_score, but I have really failed to figure
out how to make this work. I am missing something fundmental. Here is the
php code that creates a QueryDSL

I have tried a bunch of combinations and have really failed to figure it
out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Maybe custom_filters_score will do the trick?

Wrap your query with it, and add a filter on the boolean field, if its
true, you can adjust the score in this case.
