Hello,
If I understand correctly from the
documentation[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/uri-request/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/uri-request/),
I can use the _track\_scores_ parameter to have ES show the scores of each
hit, even when I'm not sorting on score.
I've tested this on 0.90.0.RC2 but it seems that it doesn't work.
Here's a curl recreation of the problem:

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
## Thanks and best regards, Radu

Has anyone else seen this? Should I open an issue on Github?
Best regards,
