When doing searches in the Discover application, the result scores always show a 0 or 1. To reproduce:

1. Do a search in the Discover application
2. Expand one of the hits
3. EXPECTED\>\> `_score` to be how that hit scored amongst the results
4. ACTUAL\>\> `_score` is always `0`

- Note: I have come across interweb postings of adding `_score` as a`Selected field` and then sorting on that, but that did not make a difference.

1. Click on `View single document`
2. EXPECTED\>\> `_score` to be how that hit scored amongst the results
3. ACTUAL\>\> `_score` is always `1`

I have executed the same query via the dev tools and do see the expected values for `_score`.

Hey @Sophia_Cheng,

Are you using the Kibana Query Language ("KQL"), or Lucene for your Discover search?

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/6/1606b49b68fc7dc3a353f508f38188a76745f5e6.png)

Does the `_score` change at all if you switch query languages?
