=== Custom Boost Factor Query

deprecated[0.90.4,Replaced by <<query-dsl-function-score-query>>]

`custom_boost_factor` query allows to wrap another query and multiply
its score by the provided `boost_factor`. This can sometimes be desired
since `boost` value set on specific queries gets normalized, while this
query boost factor does not.
