Hi, first: The significant\_terms aggregation is really cool. second: I wonder if someone could explain some details to me: - What is bg\_count? I know it's "background count" but what does this mean? - At first I thought the score values are between 0 and 1 but then I found scores which are much bigger. Is there a simple explanation for the score values? Cheers Valentin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
