I am developing an Elasticsearch logic for searching certain fields and we are not concerned about relevance scoring. I already implemented the logic with MUST queries having nestedQuery ScoreMode.NONE. However, I came across FILTER query which doesn't account for scoring as well.

So, I would like to know if there's a difference between these two implementations.
