Hello,
I want to show only max scored results. Is it possible? If possible could you tell me how to do it?
Thanks as lot!

Welcome!
You want to only show the document with the best score? Is that it?
In that case, just set `size: 1`
.
Or all documents above a given score?
You can use may be this: [Search API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/search-search.html#search-api-min-score)
But this will require to run a first query with `size: 0` (for optimisation) and extract from the response the `max_score` and run the same query again with `min_score: MAX_SCORE_VALUE`.

Hi,
I need all documents where \_score is equal to max\_score.
Is it possible to do somehow with a single query?

Also, size:0 produces max\_score: null. While size: 1 gives max\_score.

I don't think so. But unsure.
