Boost a record by point assigned to that record in Elastic Search
I solved this using the following:
custom_score :script => "_score+doc['increase_relevance_points'].value" do boolean do should { match :increase_relevance_text, term} endend
You can index the point value from the database record into ElasticSearch as an integer. Once it's there you have lots of options using custom_score or script based sorting.
If you want to boost each result by a factor of the point_value then the query might look something like:
"query": { "custom_score" : { "query" : { .... }, "script" : "doc['point_value'].value * _score" }}Check out the custom score query docs for full info.
