If I have an elastic search for patent data like:
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"bool": {
"should": [{"match": {
{"claim": "SOME KEYWORD IN THE CLAUIMS"},
{"claim": "SOME LESS IMPORTANT KEYWORD IN THE CLAIMS"}}]
}
},
{
"range": {
"date_published": {
"gte": start_year,
"lte": end_year
}
}
}
],
"should": [],
"filter": [{
"exists": {
"field": "title"}}]
}
},
"size": str(size),
"from": str(offset),
'language': 'EN',
"stemming": "true",
}
how do I tell the search that one keyword is more important than another? The field I'm searching is a text field, so I don't think I can use "Terms" and "weights" (maybe I can, I'm an elastic noob).
Edit: the new query from suggestion looks like:
{
'query':
{
'bool':
{
'must':
[{
'bool': {
'should': []}},
{
'range': {
'date_published': {
'gte': '2019-01-01',
'lte': None}}}],
'should': [{
'match': {
'title': 'AMBRA1',
'boost': 2}}, {
'match': {
'abstract': 'AMBRA1',
'boost': 2}}, {
'match': {
'claim': 'AMBRA1',
'boost': 2}}, {
'match': {
'title': '',
'boost': 2}}, {
'match': {
'abstract': '',
'boost': 2}}, {
'match': {
'claim': '',
'boost': 2}}],
'filter': [{
'exists': {
'field': 'title'}}]}},
'size': '10',
'from': '0',
'language': 'EN',
'stemming': 'true'}
and it returns a cannot parse query error
Maybe you can use "boost" in your "match" clause. That way the clause with "boost" will have a higher score than the others.
