Assume I have a compound bool query with various "must" and "should" statements that each may include different leaf queries including "multi-match" and "match_phrase" queries such as below.
How can I get the score from individual queries packed into a single query?
I know one way could be to break it down into multiple queries, execute each, and then aggregate the results in code-level (not query-level). However, I suppose that is less efficient, plus, I lose sorting/pagination/.... features from ElasticSearch.
I think "Explanation API" is also not useful for me since it provides very low-level details of scoring (inefficient and hard to parse) while I just need to know the score for each specific leaf query (which I've also already named them)
If I'm wrong on any terminology (e.g. compound, leaf), please correct me. The big picture is how to obtain individual scores from each sub-query inside of a bool query.
Please see the snippet below:
GET my_index/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"multi_match": {
"query": "...",
"fields": [
"field1^3",
"field2^5"
],
"_name": "must1_mm",
"boost": 3
}
}
],
"should": [
{
"multi_match": {
"query": "...",
"fields": [
"field3^2",
"field4^5"
],
"boost": 2,
"_name": "should1_mm",
"boost": 2
}
},
{
"match_phrase": {
"field5": {
"_name": "phrase1",
"boost": 1.5,
"query": "..."
}
}
},
{
"match_phrase": {
"category": {
"_name": "phrase2",
"boost": 1,
"query": "..."
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
