==== Function score instead of boost
Support for document boosting via the `_boost` field has been removed
from Lucene and is deprecated in Elasticsearch as of v1.0.0.RC1. The
implementation in Lucene resulted in unpredictable result when
used with multiple fields or multi-value fields.

the desired functionality by boosting each document by the value in
any field the document:

{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": { <1>
"match": {
"title": "your main query"

"functions": [{
"script_score": { <2>
"script": "doc['my_boost_field'].value"
}
}],
"score_mode": "multiply"
}
}
}

<2> This script returns the value in `my_boost_field`, which is then
multiplied by the query `_score` for each document.
