I have an index with a text field and i want to ignore term frequencies in scoring but keep positions to have match phrase search ability.  
In index mapping i can set index\_options=docs to ignore term frequencies but this disables term positions and i cant use match phrase query anymore.  
Does anyone have any idea?
