With this query to randomize the search results, is it possible to set how randomized the results will be from the original results? How can I increase or decrease the amount of randomness that the search results have?

```
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "function_score": {
            "random_score": {
                "seed": 10,
                "field": "_seq_no"
            },
           "query": MY ACTUAL QUERY THAT I WANT RANDOMIZED RESULTS FOR
        }
    }
}
```
