I would like to know if it is possible to disable score calculation for `should` types of queries or maybe it is possible to have an `OR` for filter context?

ES version: 6+

For example:

this query will search matches in either `records` _OR_ `voIds` and will have score calculation

```
POST customers/_search
{
  "size": 10000,
  "version": true,
  "query": {
	"bool": {
	  "should": [
		{
		  "terms": {
			"voIds": [
			  78031203, ...
			]
		  }
		},
		{
		  "terms": {
			"records.keyword": [
			  "S3G82U", ....
			]
		  }
		}
	  ]
	}
  }
}

```

this query will filter documents that match in both `records` _AND_ `voIds` and will not have score calculation. not what I need because it uses _AND_

```
POST customers/_search
{
  "size": 10000,
  "version": true,
  "query": {
	"bool": {
	  "filter": [
		{
		  "terms": {
			"voIds": [
			  78031203
			]
		  }
		},
		{
		  "terms": {
			"records.keyword": [
			  "S3G82U"
			]
		  }
		}
	  ]
	}
  }
}

```

The goal for me to troubleshoot performance of the same queries with and without score. So I have first query that has score. how to write second query without score?

Thanks.
