BoostSpec

public SearchRequest.Types.BoostSpec BoostSpec { get; set; }

Boost specification to boost certain products. See more details at this user guide.

Branch

public string Branch { get; set; }

CanonicalFilter

public string CanonicalFilter { get; set; }

This field is strongly recommended to achieve high search quality.
