Apply different boosting values when searching for phrase in Elasticsearch?

Question

I want to search for a phrase to Elasticsearch like "personal tax date". I want the returned results to give more weight to the term "tax".

So far I know how to boost entire index or boost for different fields but still don't know how to boost different terms? Any help??

Using function score we can boost by fields

GET <index_name>/_search
{
    "query": {
        "function_score": {
           "query": {
            "query_string": {
               "query": "*personal tax date*",
               "fields": [
                "field_1",
                "field_2"
               ]
            }
            },
            "boost": "5",
               "functions": [
                          {
                  "filter": { "match": { "field": "tax" } },
                  "weight": 30
              },
              {
                  "filter": { "term": { "ent_name": "tax" } },
                  "weight": 25
              }
          ],
             "score_mode": "multiply",
            "boost_mode": "sum"
        }
    }

You can use query_string query and boost the term using query string syntax as below:

{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": "personal tax^2 date"
    }
  }
}

how can I multiply a term's importance by a floating number?

Nishant Over a year ago

tax^2 here the boost value can be any floating value. Or use function score to modify the score calculated by elastic
