Hi I have question regarding result score: 1. On which basis elastic search will calculate the over result score,can we manipulate(customized) over all result score. 2. what is score mode and how can we define it. Thanks -- ---

Hi Sam, It's worth checking out the custom scoring: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. to see how a score is calculated and also how you can change/create your own custom scoring.

For java, you can take an existing querybuilder object and wrap it in a customScore script e.g: customScoreQuery(qb1).param("param1", 0.3).param("param2", 0.9).script("doc.score \* (doc['count'].value/doc['numVotes'].value)"); Check out the customScoreBuilder doc [http://es-java-doc.medcl.net/org/elasticsearch/index/query/CustomScoreQueryBuilder.html](http://es-java-doc.medcl.net/org/elasticsearch/index/query/CustomScoreQueryBuilder.html) On 25 September 2012 10:26, Derry O' Sullivan [derryos@gmail.com](mailto:derryos@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Sam, > > It's worth checking out the custom scoring: > > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/custom-score-query.html) > > and explanation docs: > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/explain.html) > > to see how a score is calculated and also how you can change/create your > own custom scoring. > > On 25 September 2012 10:22, sam [mishra.sameek@gmail.com](mailto:mishra.sameek@gmail.com) wrote: > > > Hi > > > > I have question regarding result score: > > > > 1.

Hi Sam, I'm a pretty new ES user so not sure about backwards compatibility with the Java jar for 0.16.2. If you don't have customScoreQueryBuilder classes, i'll defer to one of the ES experts!
