Is there a way to get the score from a query with filter? Or do I need to restructure my query without filters?  
I would need a score between 0-1.

Now it looks like this:  
{  
"from": 0,  
"size": 10,  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"bool": {  
"filter": [  
{  
"term": {  
"lastName.normalize": {  
"value": "Doe"  
}  
}  
},  
{  
"term": {  
"type.normalize": {  
"value": "Individual"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

A filter by definition does not return a score. All you need to do in your query is change the `filter` into a `must`. You will get the exact same set of hits, but now with a score.
