retrieval?: Retrieval { boost_by, context_expansion, filters, 6 more }

boost_by?: Array<BoostBy>

Metadata fields to boost search results by. Overrides the instance-level boost_by config. Direction defaults to ‘asc’ for numeric/datetime fields, ‘exists’ for text/boolean fields. Fields must match ‘timestamp’ or a defined custom_metadata field.

field: string

Metadata field name to boost by. Use ‘timestamp’ for document freshness, or any custom_metadata field. Numeric and datetime fields support asc/desc directions; text/boolean fields support exists/not_exists.

maxLength64

minLength1

direction?: "asc" | "desc" | "exists" | "not_exists"

Boost direction. ‘desc’ = higher values rank higher (e.g. newer timestamps). ‘asc’ = lower values rank higher. ‘exists’ = boost chunks that have the field. ‘not_exists’ = boost chunks that lack the field. Optional �� defaults to ‘asc’ for numeric/datetime fields, ‘exists’ for text/boolean fields.
