I am running rescore\_query with ltr model with window\_size=5,  
I am seeing the recore\_query is being applied to top 5 docs in hits and top 5 docs of every aggregated bucket.  
Is the how rescore\_query designed to work?

following is the trimmed down query.

```auto

    "sort": [
        {
            "_score": "desc"
