I am doing a more like this API call using a multi field. It's working, but  
I would like to adjust the score based on other fields of the document. Is  
there a way to do this or would I need to use a more like this + custom  
score query? Also the field I am using has repeated terms, e.g. ["apple",  
"apple", "apple", "banana"]. Will the MLT request take this into account  
and score documents that contain more occurrences of "apple" than "banana"  
higher?
