Assuming that the response from @JasonStoltz in this question:

> [@Random\_score is available on App Search?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/random-score-is-available-on-app-search/226764):

> Hello, I'm trying to get a randomized result using App Search, but I can't find a way to archieve that. I've seen that Elasticsearch does include a random score option ([Random Scoring | Elasticsearch: The Definitive Guide [2.x] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/random-scoring.html)) Is there any way to access to that feature? Thank you

is the same response I'll get here regarding the min\_score function. To @JasonStoltz or someone else who's knowledgable... I can solve the problem of truncating the search results at some score on my end pretty easily. Is there a way to solve the 2nd problem I mentioned above regarding getting facets and counts that apply to a shorter result list?
