Score certain documents higher based on a weight field

[OTH]

Hello,

Is there a way to assign a higher score to certain documents based on a
'weight' field?


E.g., if I have the following two documents:
{
        "name":"United Kingdom",
        "weight":2730,
} {
        "name":"United States of America",
        "weight":11246,
}

Currently, if I issue the following query:
q=name:united

These are the scores I get:
{
        "name":"United Kingdom",
        "weight":2730,
        "score":9.464103},
} {
        "name":"United States of America",
        "weight":11246,
        "score":7.766276}]
}


However, I'd like the score to somehow factor in the number in the "weight"
column.  (And hence, increase the score assigned to "United States of
America" in this case.)

Much thanks
