condition

string

Required. An expression which specifies a boost condition. The syntax is the same as filter expression syntax. Currently, the only supported condition is a list of BCP-47 lang codes. Example: To boost suggestions in languages en or fr: (lang_code: ANY("en", "fr"))
boost

number

Optional. Strength of the boost, which should be in [-1, 1]. Negative boost means demotion. Default is 0.0.

Setting to 1.0 gives the suggestions a big promotion. However, it does not necessarily mean that the top result will be a boosted suggestion.

Setting to -1.0 gives the suggestions a big demotion. However, other suggestions that are relevant might still be shown.

Setting to 0.0 means no boost applied. The boosting condition is ignored.
