Hi Everyone,  
I'm trying to disable default scoring by wrapping the query  
with constant\_score:  
"constant\_score" : {  
"query" : {  
"term" : {  
"topta.name.untouched" : "Placebo"  
}  
},  
"boost" : 6.0  
}

but after running the query with explain i'm getting

- value: 0.047801238
- description: Score based on score mode Total and child doc range from  
132127 to 132138
- details: [
  - {
    - value: 0.007966873
    - description: Child[132130]  
}

  - {
    - value: 0.007966873
    - description: Child[132131]  
}

  - {
    - value: 0.007966873
    - description: Child[132134]  
}

  - {
    - value: 0.007966873
    - description: Child[132135]  
}

  - {
    - value: 0.007966873
    - description: Child[132137]  
}

  - {
    - value: 0.007966873
    - description: Child[132138]  
}  
]

Thanks in advance!
