Boosting Query

edit

The boosting query can be used to effectively demote results that match a given query. Unlike the "NOT" clause in bool query, this still selects documents that contain undesirable terms, but reduces their overall score.

GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "boosting" : {
            "positive" : {
                "term" : {
                    "field1" : "value1"
                }
            },
            "negative" : {
                 "term" : {
                     "field2" : "value2"
                }
            },
            "negative_boost" : 0.2
        }
    }
}
