I am trying to fetch the results with a minimum score of 1 using min\_score using the following query but I am still getting responses with null score  
I know that my query is bit complex and there could be better ways to implement it, I am new to elasticsearch and still learning. Can anyone help me out with this

```auto
        {
          "constant_score": {
            "filter": {
              "bool": {
