Hi, with this simple query : { "query": { "match": { "title": "world" } } } i have two results : 1 - "title": "Goodbye World FRENCH", with "\_score": 2.7005801, 2 - "title": "World War Z TRUEFRENCH", with "\_score": 2.6142232, the second title (World War Z TRUEFRENCH) start with the word _World_ but it have not the higher score. i think if the title start with the searched world it must have more relevance ? My analyze for the description filed: "analyzer": { "custom\_french\_analyzer": { "tokenizer": "letter", "filter": ["asciifolding", "lowercase", "french\_stem", "elision", "stop"] }, Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I _think_ that the length of the field impacts the score (at least that was the case last time I used Lucene, which is what's underneath elasticsearch). The second entry is longer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hello , The score is impacted by TF , IDF and the field length. - > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. You need to write a small script to compute this logic via function score query.
