here is an example of low relevance recalls

search options:

```nohighlight
{
            precision: 7,
            page: { size: 2 },
            search_fields: {
                description: {},
            },
            result_fields: {
                description: { snippet: {} },
            },
            group: { field: "vertical", size: 2 },
}

```

response:

```json

    "meta": {
        "alerts": [],
        "warnings": [],

            "id": {

            "_group": [

                        "engine": "catalog-item",
                        "score": 0.19922194,
                        "id": "1004861"
                    },
                    "id": {
                        "raw": "1004861"
                    }
                }
            ],
            "_group_key": "Packaging"
        }
    ]
}

```

a high precision search recalls very low relevance records with snippet is null and score is lower than 1

I also encountered the same problem, the document did not provide a parameter similar to 'min\_socore'.
