Increasing Relevance of Search Results in Specific Books
TLDR Dave wanted to prioritize search results from a specific book. Jason suggested using _eval with sort_by to achieve the desired outcome.

04:32 PMEach document contains the plaintext content of a paragraph, the code that identifies the book, and other stuff. My hack is to append the current book’s code to the user’s search before submitting it, and to set the
queryBy to content, code, which makes the search return relevant content, and prefer results containing the code.However, by appending the code to the user’s query, I effectively disable the prefix search, because their query is never at end of the query string (the code is).
Is there a better way of handling this?

05:23 PMYou could split this into two searches in a multi_search request.
Search 1: You’d add a filter_by to only search inside the books that the user is reading
Search 2: Add a filter_by to exclude the books that the user is reading
Then show the results from Search 1 first, if it returns hits. Then show results from Search 2
