Elasticsearch: Performance Tuning Search Results using Boosts

This article discusses the use of boost while tuning and optimizing search results in Elasticsearch using the NEST SDK and C#.
Search terms can exist in the content title and body, but the search results returned may be polluted with content containing brief mentions or links in the content body with the search terms.
Boost is a technique that lets you increase the relevance score of certain fields in your query. It lets you add more weight to a record in search results and prioritize certain fields within content based on their subjective importance.
By applying a boost to the title field when the query is ran using NEST SDK and C# in Elasticsearch, only content that is truly related to the initial search terms is returned.
The example code provided shows how to prioritize title over body by implementing a boost to the title field and building a search query that combines body within a bool query.
The code retrieves the top records and returns metadata to help with paging on the client side.
Boosts allow fine-tuning search results providing a better user experience by adjusting the order and relevance of search results.
By tuning search results using boosts, better search results can be provided to the user.
The solution outlined in this article tunes and optimizes search results using boosts in Elasticsearch by prioritizing content by subject importance.
NEST SDK and C# are used to build a search query to prioritize the title over the body.

HP Envy 6155e review: a stylish printer made for Instant Ink

The HP Envy 6155e is an affordable all-in-one printer designed for low-volume home use.
The printer comes with an attractive design, a low profile, and a 2.4-inch color touchscreen.
Its standout feature is the three months of Instant Ink service that the company includes in the purchase.
The printer's printing speed is not very fast, but it produces high-quality prints with accurate text and color representation.
The Envy 6155e's flatbed scanner offers high-resolution document and photo scans with copy speeds of up to 8 copies per minute.
The printer setup is easy with a QR code that connects to the HP Smart app, and the print alignment process is quick and straightforward.
The HP Envy 6155e is an affordable option for occasional home users, but ink costs can add up quickly if they do not subscribe to Instant Ink.
The HP Instant Ink service drops ink costs to low rates, and users can subscribe for as low as $5 per month.
The Envy 6155e is not ideal for busy offices, but it is a good option for homes looking for a sleek and stylish home printer.
Brother’s MFC-J1205W provides a strong challenge with similar pricing and much larger ink tanks.
