{ "query": { "match" : { "name": "abcd" } } }

Hits: {  
"\_index" : "index\_uniq\_v5",  
"\_type" : "Playlist",  
"\_id" : "49680",  
"\_score" : 0.5945348,  
"\_source" : {  
"name" : "abcd",  
"ratin" : 4  
}  
}, {  
"\_index" : "index\_uniq\_v5",  
"\_type" : "Playlist",  
"\_id" : "49682",  
"\_score" : 0.5945348,  
"\_source" : {  
"name" : "abcdeert",  
"ratin" : 4  
}  
}

If see \_explain all details have equal value. And **fieldNorm** too 😕

Why scores are equal?
