Hello. I'm performing a bool should query and get something like this:

{"value"=\>0.41639566,  
"description"=\>"product of:",  
"details"=\>  
[{"value"=\>1.249187,  
"description"=\>"sum of:",  
"details"=\>  
[{"value"=\>0.41639566,  
"description"=\>"ConstantScore(expert\_skills:java)^2.0, product of:",  
"details"=\>  
[{"value"=\>2.0, "description"=\>"boost"},  
{"value"=\>0.20819783, "description"=\>"queryNorm"}]},  
{"value"=\>0.41639566,  
"description"=\>"ConstantScore(expert\_skills:php)^2.0, product of:",  
"details"=\>  
[{"value"=\>2.0, "description"=\>"boost"},  
{"value"=\>0.20819783, "description"=\>"queryNorm"}]},  
{"value"=\>0.41639566,  
"description"=\>"ConstantScore(expert\_skills:ruby)^2.0, product of:",  
"details"=\>  
[{"value"=\>2.0, "description"=\>"boost"},  
{"value"=\>0.20819783, "description"=\>"queryNorm"}]}]},  
{"value"=\>0.33333334, "description"=\>"coord(3/9)"}]}

How could I force it to use avg scoring mode instead "description"=\>"sum  
of:" ?
