View the Slides View the Video

Recently Elasticsearch has introduced a number of ways to improve search relevance of your documents based on numeric features. In this talk I will present the newly introduced field types of "rank_feature", "rank_features" ,"dense_field", and "sparse_vector" and discuss in what situations and how they can be used to boost scores of your documents. I will also talk about the inner workings of queries based on these fields, and related performance considerations.
