Hello There,
In order to finely tune and debug more-like-this queries, how a could I, obtain the result of a query on a specific document which I know should match well my search, get its score and explanation ?
Thanks in advance,

See [Search with fuzzy and on a field with word\_delimiter doesn't work as expected](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/search-with-fuzzy-and-on-a-field-with-word-delimiter-doesnt-work-as-expected/64989/2?u=mark_harwood)

Ok, so instead of calling the search api with the explain parameter, I call the explain api on the document. gotcha.
