How to disable score calculation to improve performance (fuzzy queries)

[Giorgos_Katiforis]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to disable the score calculation in Elasticsearch. I am running match queries with fuzziness 2 and I have noticed (using profile )it consumes a lot of time in build_scorer. In my use case, I don't need the scoring information.

My query:

{"profile": true,"query":{"bool":{"filter":[{"match":{"names":{"query":"name1 name2 name3","operator":"AND","fuzziness":"2","fuzzy_rewrite":"constant_score"}}}]}},"_source":{"includes":["id"]}}

Profile results:
