I use QueryBuilders.templateQuery(template, map) to achieve some documents, howerer,the relevance scoring of each document is 1.I hope someone can help me.

template example:  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"query\_string": {  
"default\_field": "progress\_note",  
"query": "chest pains"  
}  
}  
],  
"must\_not": [],  
"should": []  
}  
},  
"from": 0,  
"size": 10,  
"sort": [],  
"aggs": {}  
}

Hi @jiangshigen,

It's not clear to me the reason you are using a template query as your query is not a template at all.

Doing a normal query you get the expected score:

```
POST my_index/doc/1
{
  "progress_note": "chest pains"
}

GET my_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "query_string": {
            "default_field": "progress_note",
            "query": "chest pains"
          }
        }
      ],
      "must_not": [],
      "should": []
    }
  },
  "from": 0,
  "size": 10,
  "sort": [],
  "aggs": {}
}

{
  "took": 0,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 1,
    "max_score": 0.5753642,
    "hits": [
      {
        "_index": "my_index",
        "_type": "doc",
        "_id": "1",
        "_score": 0.5753642,
        "_source": {
          "progress_note": "chest pains"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
} 

```

Can you elaborate your question?

Cheers,  
LG
