Boost score based on integer value - Elasticsearch - elasticsearch

Question

I'm not very experienced with ElasticSearch and would like to know how to boost a search based on a certain integer value.
This is an example of a document:
{
"_index": "links",
"_type": "db1",
"_id": "mV32vWcBZsblNn1WqTcN",
"_score": 8.115617,
"_source": {
"url": "example.com",
"title": "Example website",
"description": "This is an example website, used for various of examples around the world",
"likes": 9,
"popularity": 543,
"tags": [
{
"name": "example",
"votes": 5
},
{
"name": "test",
"votes": 2
},
{
"name": "testing",
"votes": 1
}
]
}
}
Now in this particular search, the focus is on the tags and I would like to know how to boost the _score and multiply it by the integer in the votes under tags.
If this is not possible (or very hard to achieve), I would simply like to know how to boost the _score by the votes (not under tags)
Example, add 0.1 to the _score for each integer in votes
This is the current search query I'm using (for searching tags only):
{
"query": {
"nested": {
"path": "tags",
"query": {
"bool":{
"should":{
"match":{
"tags.name":"example,testing,something else"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I couldn't find much online, and hope someone can help me out.
How do I boost the _score with an integer value?
Update
For more info, here is the mapping:
{
"links": {
"mappings": {
"db1": {
"properties": {
"url": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
},
"title": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
},
"description": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
},
"likes": {
"type": "long"
},
"popularity": {
"type": "long"
},
"tags": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
},
"votes": {
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Update 2
Changed the tags.likes/tags.dislikes to tags.votes, and added a nested property to the tags

Answer 1

This took a long time to figure out. I have learnt so much on my way there.
Here is the final result:
{
"query": {
"nested": {
"path": "tags",
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": {
"bool": {
"should": [
{
"match": {
"tags.name": "example"
}
},
{
"match": {
"tags.name": "testing"
}
},
{
"match": {
"tags.name": "test"
}
}
]
}
},
"functions": [
{
"field_value_factor": {
"field": "tags.votes"
}
}
],
"boost_mode": "multiply"
}
}
}
}
}
The array in should has helped a lot, and was glad I could combine it with function_score

You are looking at function score query: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html
And field value factor https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html#function-field-value-factor.
Snippet from documentation:
GET /_search
{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"field_value_factor": {
"field": "tags.dislikes",
"factor": 1.2,
"modifier": "sqrt",
"missing": 1
}
}
}
}
Or with script score because your nested tags field (not sure if field value score works fine with nested structure).
