Hi All I have 3 unique servers for elasticsearch, i made the cluster setup in this. Each and every index has 5 shards and 2 replicas. i have an index with 4 lac of documents in it. while perform a search query in the elasticsearch cluster. the returned documents have different calculated score in different servers. _ex_ _Document Server 1 Server 2 Server 3_ _-----------------------------------------------------_ _documentA 49.379543 50.168644 49.577785_ _documentB 17.744095 17.979729 18.046381_ _documentC 16.880697 16.748943 16.850113_ _documentD 10.785672 10.744943 10.806508_ . . search\_type\*=dfs\_query\_then\_fetch\* This is because of the document frequency. but i can;t understand that all are calculated in shard0 itself. if we set the search preference to \_primary then the score same for all the request (means all the servers). obviously this should be. Because there is no other search hits for the replicas. _My Question is_: what's happen if the search hits the replicas? it calculates different score in different servers?

Scores are based on the docs in the particular shard that is queried, so it's relative.
