Hello, I'm not sure if I should ask this question here or on Lucene mailing list, but anyway, hope someone could explain how Fuzzy Numeric Search scores the documents. I run a simple Fuzzy Search on numeric field, and it always returns score = 1.0, no matter how far the value from the number I search by. I was expecting to have bigger score if the value of the field in a document closer to the provided number. Am I wrong here? And if so, why we'd need Fuzzy Numeric search, we could just use a range filter? Thank you, Eugene -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
