Hi Guys,

Quick question regarding scoring when ConstantScoreQuery & Bool Query are  
used in conjunction

So here is the query

{

> ```
> "from": 0,
> 
> "size": 10,
> 
> "explain": false,
> 
> "sort": ["_score"],
> 
> "query": {
> 
> "filtered": {
> 
> "query": {
> 
> "bool": {
> 
> "should": [{
> 
> "constant_score": {
> 
> "query": {
> 
> "match": {
> 
> "_all": {
> 
> "query": "test"
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> },
> 
> "boost": 1.0
> 
> }
> 
> }, {
> 
> "constant_score": {
> 
> "query": {
> 
> "match": {
> 
> "_all": {
> 
> "query": "check"
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> },
> 
> "boost": 1.0
> 
> }
> 
> }]
> 
> },
> 
> "disable_coord": 1
> 
> },
> 
> "filter": [{
> 
> "or": [{
> 
> "query": {
> 
> "match": {
> 
> "_all": {
> 
> "query": "test"
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> }, {
> 
> "query": {
> 
> "match": {
> 
> "_all": {
> 
> "query": "check"
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> }]
> 
> }]
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> ```
> 
> }

Shouldn't the above query either return a score of either 1 OR 2 why is it  
returning score of lets say 1.4 if I am wrapping the sub queries with a  
constant score query?

Shawn
