I want to be able to filter my search results for less relevant results. So I use the `min_score` for filtering.
like this:
```auto
GET xxx/_search
{
"min_score": 2.8,
"query": {
"match": {
"xxx": "xxxx"
}
}
}
```
But the max\_score is different for different search keyword, which leads to the fact that sometimes I need to filter results with a score less than 20 and sometimes I need to filter results with a score less than 10.
And this threshold I have no way to determine, anyone have any ideas?
For example, I searched for the term `Maciachini Apartments R&R` and the results returned with a score greater than 20 met my needs (_return max\_score is 40+_) . But when I searched for the term `R R`, the words with a score greater than 10 were the ones I needed (_return max\_score is 10+_) . So how do I determine this threshold?
Can there be any way to return es to a uniform score standard? Or is there any way I can filter the data for 80% of the maximum score?
Like this
```auto
GET xxx/_search
{
"min_score": max_score*0.8,
"query": {
"match": {
"xxx": "xxxx"
}
}
}
```
