Hi all,

I try to make a search query based on a unique field, nevertheless,  
the document score seems to be attached on the other fields content  
too.

final FieldQueryBuilder qBuilder =  
QueryBuilders.fieldQuery("searchable", "my query");  
qBuilder.defaultOperator(Operator.AND);

For example, the code above is supposed to search into the unique  
field named "searchable", but the score depends on other fields  
too...

I thought about map the non relevant fields (for search) as not  
indexed, but they are used for facetting...

Am I wrong in my practices ?

Thanks for responses... and nice work about ES !

Thomas
