Hello,

When I perform a querying on Elasticsearch the duplicate matches also take score by Inverse Document Frequency and come top of the results. Can I ignore the duplicate matching.

top document,

```auto
"highlight": {
          "currentRole.jobTitle.keyword": [
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>"
          ],
          "jobTitle.text.keyword": [
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>",
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>",
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>",
            "<em>Executive Secretary</em>",
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>",
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>"
          ]
        }

```

next document,

```auto
"skills.text.keyword": [
            "<em>sales</em>",
            "<em>administrative duties</em>",
            "<em>CRM system</em>",
            "<em>sales</em>",
            "<em>administrative duties</em>"
          ],
          "currentRole.jobTitle.keyword": [
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>"
          ],
          "jobTitle.text.keyword": [
            "<em>Administrative Assistant</em>"
          ]

```

the first document matches single value in multiple times, In the second document It has matched with huge skills too. In this scenario I want to ignore duplicate match and return second document in top.  
Can I ignore a duplicate match can anybody suggest me a good query?

Thanks,
