Get shortest result first elasticsearch

I work with elasticsearch with symfony2. I have a database with music artists. When I try to search for example "emine*" with a wildcard, I got in the firsts results "Eminence of Darkness" or another's ones instead of "Eminem" which is closest to my query.

Please see this example enter image description here

What can I do to get "Eminem" in the first result?

You could also try the Prefix Query for boosting the results:

Wildcard query by default uses constant_score_auto as rewrite parameter which gives the same score for all matches.

For the example in the question probably you could sort the matched results by Artist.sort_name to get the desired result .
