Elasticsearch: how to make product name count more than product description in a search?

Question

I am building an e-commerce site. When searching for products with a string, I want to search the name field and the description field, and I want the name field to be more important than description.

How can I do this and what terminology should I look at?

This is an example concerning the query_string section in the query :

 "query_string" : {
    "fields" : ["description", "name^5"],
    "query" : "this AND that OR thus",
 }
