What is the search scoring logic used by Liferay DXP?

I have a custom search portlet and need to do boosting for some fields and structures. I can do this using boost method in Query classes. Since my custom search portlet includes some OOB Liferay structures and custom structures I need to know whether Liferay has any scoring functionality over the elasticsearch scoring internally.

Hi Vishnu,

You can add the boost configuration in a search calling com.liferay.portal.kernel.search.Query.setBoost(float) but you can also add a default boost in a entity for all queries creating a IndexerPostProcessor and set a boost on the required field.

For certain fields (description, title, assetCategoryTitles etc.), Liferay sets the boost to 2 on Liferay side at some points when we create the query, see for example:

That query builders are used for example in following classes:
