Hi,

I am using multi match query of Elasticsearch. Need to understand what is the maximum \_score that multi match query can have. Please help with this.

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "multi_match" : {
      "query": "john wick",
      "type": "best_fields",
      "fields": ["first_name", "last_name"],
      "operator": "and" 
    }
  }
}

```
