Hi Guys, I am using ES to build out the search for an online store. The operator would like to have the results being returned in a way that showcases the varieties of manufactures he offers. So instead of returning order by score he would like there to be one result from each store on each page, at least on the first few pages. The issue is there is one manufactures who makes 80% of the portfolio so it always looks like there is only that one store. But if one could "mix" or "distribute" the results to showcase the variety that be pretty cool. I have seen a bunch of online stores do that somehow, although I do not know how. Is there a way to use ES to somehow do a query like, return 20 results and 2 of each Store? Thanks for your help.

I have a pull request in the works that adds an option for maintaining diversity in results: [Sampler aggregation by markharwood · Pull Request #10221 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/10221) This is mainly for the purposes of sample-based aggregations but if used with the top\_hits aggregation it might give you some of what you need.
