Hi! I have a text fields used for fts, and I have an integer field used at search operation for sorting.That is I use \_score as the first soring field and that integer field as the second one. Is it possible to use this integer field on the indexing operation with the aim to get natural sorting "included" into \_score? I guess at this case search operation will be cheaper in resources consumption terms. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
