"Unboosting" with the caret (^) notation on a multi_match query?

Hi,

Can I use decimals smaller than 1 with the caret (^) notation on a multi_match query?
Something like :
"fields": [ "title^3","text","extra_text^0.5"]
Would this work as an "unbooster" for the field extra_text?

I can see that it does not raise an error but I wonder if it works as I expect.

That is correct.
