While executing the query it takes above 50 milliseconds to fetch the results. For other search results it takes only below 50 milliseconds. When removing the norm\_biznme the query response is faster. How to limit the frequency for this field alone ?

{"explain": true, "size":25, "query":{"query\_string":{"query":"( ((norm\_biznme:"TEST") AND (city\_key:"TEST\_CITY"))^40 OR (zip\_key:"00 0") ^6 OR (norm\_biznme\_exct:"TEST")^50 OR (phone\_key:"")^50 OR ((physicalAddresses.streetNumber:"5") AND (physicalAddresses.streetName:"new"))^15 OR (tradeStyles.acronym:"ASD")^5 OR (mailAddresses.poBox:"00 0")^6 OR (norm\_biz\_nme\_word\_pair: "TEST")^30 OR (norm\_biz\_nme\_sdx: "TEST")^5 OR (ceoName:"TEST")^30 OR ((physicalAddresses.streetName:"new") AND (city\_key:"TEST\_CITY")))" }}, "sort":[{"\_score":{"order":"desc"}}],"aggs":{"exctNme":{"filter":{"term":{"norm\_biznme\_exct":"{{TEST}}"}}}}}
