Dear all , I am trying to figure out if there will be any range for the elastic search scores that are given out by the system .Will it be possible for me to contain the scores in a range of 0 to1 . I dont see that the use of custom score field could be much helpful as i am not sure if there is any range to the original score that is thrown out Any help will be much appreciated Thanks Prasanna ---

I too have the same query. What is the minimum and maximum value range of \_score? And how can I adjust the range [min, max] to a custom range like [0, x] ? Would be thankful for any help.

There isn't a hard coded minimum and maximum value for scoring, but, you get the max score as part of the search response.

Hi Shay Banon , Thanks for the response e. Could you point me to a manual or document that details how the scoring is done. I have tried searching enough but in vain . getting on idea on what kind of algorithm is used will be very useful .

Hi, I suggest reading [Apache Lucene - Scoring](http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_1_0/scoring.html) Cheers David Le dimanche 10 avril 2011, prasanna venkatesan [prasanna@computer.org](mailto:prasanna@computer.org) a écrit : > Hi Shay Banon , > Thanks for the response e.
