This sounds perhaps as a non-ES use case, but I would like to have a single document which has a certain flag boost to the top of the results.
I have ~10% of the documents with a flag. All documents (disregarding the flag) are sorted on _timestamp. All fields have a _boost by default of 1.0. Now I would like to keep the sort the same, *except* for the *first document* matching a non-null value for specified flag. In other words, the latest (chronologically) flagged document should be the 1st result, all other documents (with or without flag) are sorted "just" based on _timestamp. Is this possible with ES? I have been thinking about the ES index where I set a _boost value of >1.0 for a flagged document and each time I insert a new flagged document, I update all flagged documents in the index with a boost of 1.0, effectively resetting the boost every time. But as this is such a nasty solution, I hope ES users will help me with some more insights :) -- Jurian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
