@jpountz Look like both of these requirements are same > [@Calculating with Document Frequency, not Inverse Document Frequency](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/calculating-with-document-frequency-not-inverse-document-frequency/12479): > > Hello, I have gist [https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5813541](https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5813541) where I search for 'small'. But result where 'small' is just once is higher then the result where 'small' is twice. I want the results where the more frequent the 'small' is, the higher in the results. So, I want DF, not IDF.
