Hi, I have a list of terms and I want to submit a TermsQuery for a document corpus for a field that is multi-valued. When I get the set of matching results, I want to make sure that I use my own logic for scoring so that the Top N reflects my view of which documents should be top rated. Is there a plugin, a scripting function, or a built-in method to achieve this? My custom scoring function will look at a few aspects like determining which terms in the input are more important than the rest and what size of the document should be matched first, whether my list of terms is a complete subset of a document and if that document has other terms or not, etc. Please let me know!
