Filters and no scoring

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I'm trying to understand the note in the docs that says the filter
don't do any scoring. I've just tested a filtered query and I got back
non-uniform scores. Can I rely on these scores for relevancy measure
or am I missing something here? Using 0.19.0RC3.

Note: you say a "filtered query", so the query part DOES do scoring.
Just the filter part doesn't.

If you used a constant_score query, then all your docs would have the
same score: 1

{ "query": {
"constant_score": {
"filter": { "term": { "foo": 1 }}
}
}
}

Okay, I was confused because a couple of messages on this board said
that you can't use filtered queries if you want to order by the score.
Good to know I can.
