according to martijin's remarks on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/A5DSgvnTnC0 and also this issue https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3752 ,
search results should be sortable by _boost field. my particular setup: { "product": { "properties": { "_boost": { "type": "float", "null_value": 1.0, "index": "not_analyzed" } } } when using a match_all query, I can sort for any numeric field, but the "_boost", that does not work. I'm using 0.90.10 Also, I don't know if this is related, but when I try to get the mapping via localhost:9200/index_name/_mapping , the _boost field doesn't show up. I guess it's because of its special nature. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
