Hi, 
We are looking for fetching _score value from elastic search response., but looks like _score value always includes the applied script_score.  
We have script_score to boost the relevancy in the query, and the requirement is to extract _score pre-applying script_score.
Tried to use script_fields, looks like _score is not accessible/available in script_fields scope.
Is there a way to get elasticsearch _score in the response, including both with and without script_score being applied.

ES version used: 5.3

Thanks
Manju
