I want to have the most matched result show and order by popularity of what people search, how should I do?

You'll need to save the popularity value somehow, like a `num_views` field on the documents. Then you can include that field as part of the scoring, or order by `num_views`

No, i don't order it, i need it more dynamically.

Did you mean customise a function score? Do you have any example ?
