Hi, I'm new to ES but wondering if the community knew if there a way with ES today to implement something like the ReRanking API [[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/RankQuery+API](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/RankQuery+API)]. Specifically I need a custom TopDocsCollector probably in core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/query/QueryPhase:execute so that we might be able to implement our custom ranking strategy. It would also allow for full control for a custom sort implementation too. Cheers, Dan ---

I'd start with looking at [script scoring](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/script-score.html) first, maybe this already helps. Isabel ---
