Dfs_query_then_fetch value not working with SearchRequestBuilder.setSearchType

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I implemented an ActionPlugin by extending BaseRestHandler. But when I set the searchType (searchRequestBuilder.setSearchType(SearchType.DFS_QUERY_THEN_FETCH).execute().get()....) it isn't being honored. I can tell the DFS_QUERY_THEN_FETCH isn't working because the scoring is different with the same query executed twice.

Using the REST api externally (via curl) works:
GET /product/_search?search_type=dfs_query_then_fetch ...

Using ElasticSearch 6.1.0.
The index has two replicas.

Maybe DFS_QUERY_THEN_FETCH option on searchRequestBuilder is being honored. It's just not working the way I initially understood.

I ended up using preference parameter, and that seems to make queries repeatable in terms of scoring and result order.
