Hi  
Currently, when searching for a match keyword, the score changes slightly.  
The results may change when searching due to slight differences.  
Is there an option that does not change the keyword match score?  
Thanks

ex)  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{ "match": { "contents": "test" } }

```
  ]
}

```

}  
}

```auto
GET /some_index/_search?search_type=dfs_query_then_fetch
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "contents": "test"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

검색시 각 샤드별로 스코어링 후 취합하기 때문에 점수가 달라질 수 있습니다  
전체 샤드 검색 결과를 취합 후 스코어링 할 수 있으나 약간의 성능 저하가 있을 수 있습니다

If you're running into different scores for the same query, your replicas may be inconsistent. You can fix this for individual users by setting [preference](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/consistent-scoring.html#_scores_are_not_reproducible) as described in this document.

If your issue is that the scores are different for different queries, this is expected behavior.
