[FEATURE] Implement indices_boost for Multi-index-search

[bastimm]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes, I need to search in multiple indices and want to boost one of them

What solution would you like?

Please implement this switch

What alternatives have you considered?

Do you have any additional context?

https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/search/ => indices_boost

Only the url parameters are restricted, do you have an example where this is not working?

Hi,

a short excerpt of my PHP code, perhaps I made a mistake?

$this->ESQuery1 = [ 'index' => [ $this->config->getIndexName($this->language), ], 'from' => $this->paginationStart, 'size' => (int) $this->size, ]; if(true){ $this->ESQuery1['index'][] = $this->config->getIndexName($this->language).'_cmsnews'; } $this->ESQuery1['ignore_unavailable'] = true; $this->ESQuery1["indices_boost"] = [ $this->config->getIndexName($this->language) => 3, $this->config->getIndexName($this->language).'_cmsnews' => 2 ] ;

If I add "indices_boost" I got this result:
[message:protected] => "indices_boost" is not a valid parameter. Allowed parameters are "_source", "_source_excludes", "_source_includes", "allow_no_indices"

Thanks in advance!!!

indices_boost is part of the request body. So the array would be:

[
  'index' => $myIndex,
  'body' => [
    'indices_boost' => $myBoost
  ]
]

🤔
