Hello, I'm trying to pass a min\_score parameter using the \_count api, but it doesn't seem to work. When I add it via query string, it just gets ignored and returns the full count. When I add it to the query using "min\_score" : 1, then I get the following exception response: {"count":0,"\_shards":{"total":5,"successful":0,"failed":5,"failures":[{"index":"recruitment","shard":1,"reason":"BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[recruitment][1] ]; nested: QueryParsingException[[recruitment] request does not support [min\_score]]; "},{"index":"recruitment","shard":0,"reason":"BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[recruitment][0] ]; nested: QueryParsingException[[recruitment] request does not support [min\_score]]; "},{"index":"recruitment","shard":3,"reason":"BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[recruitment][3] ]; nested: QueryParsingException[[recruitment] request does not support [min\_score]]; "},{"index":"recruitment","shard":2,"reason":"BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[recruitment][2] ]; nested: QueryParsingException[[recruitment] request does not support [min\_score]]; "},{"index":"recruitment","shard":4,"reason":"BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[recruitment][4] ]; nested: QueryParsingException[[recruitment] request does not support [min\_score]]; "}]}} Has anyone else run into this?

Just a guess, but I would assume that the count API does not score documents, which is why it is faster, leading to a setting such as min\_score to be obsolete. -- Ivan On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 10:55 AM, Roly Vicaria [rolyv19@gmail.com](mailto:rolyv19@gmail.com) wrote: > Also, I'm trying this on v1.3.2 > > On Monday, November 10, 2014 10:54:33 AM UTC-5, Roly Vicaria wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I'm trying to pass a min\_score parameter using the \_count api, but it > > doesn't seem to work.
