I need to search nicknames with wildcard and sort them by relevance(score). But, when i do a query with wildcard, then the score is always 1.0 curl -XGET http://$HOST:$PORT/pokec/pouzivatelia/\_search -d '{ "from" : 0, "size": 10, "query" : { "query\_string" : { "default\_field":"Nick", "query":"_blue_" } } } ' result: "\_score":1.0 curl -XGET http://$HOST:$PORT/pokec/pouzivatelia/\_search -d '{ "from" : 0, "size": 10, "query" : { "query\_string" : { "default\_field":"Nick", "query":"blue" } } } ' result: "\_score":13.376108 Is there a way to get score also with wildcard? ---

But is very important for me because i need do similary search like quora.com. You need to set rewrite to scoring\_boolean 2011/10/13 BlueZero [bluezero@bluezero.sk](mailto:bluezero@bluezero.sk): > I need to search nicknames with wildcard and sort them by > relevance(score). > But, when i do a query with wildcard, then the score is always 1.0 > > curl -XGET http://$HOST:$PORT/pokec/pouzivatelia/\_search -d '{ > "from" : 0, > "size": 10, > "query" : { > "query\_string" : { "default\_field":"Nick", > "query":"_blue_" } > } > } > ' > > result: > "\_score":1.0 > > curl -XGET http://$HOST:$PORT/pokec/pouzivatelia/\_search -d '{ > "from" : 0, > "size": 10, > "query" : { > "query\_string" : { "default\_field":"Nick", > "query":"blue" } > } > } > ' > > result: > "\_score":13.376108 > > Is there a way to get score also with wildcard? -- Gustavo Maia ---

Didnt help at all curl -XGET http://$HOST:$PORT/pokec/pouzivatelia/\_search -d '{ "from" : 0, "size": 10, "query" : { "query\_string" : { "default\_field":"Nick", "query":"_blue_", "rewrite":"scoring\_boolean" } } } ' score:1.1630663 Nick:bluehill score:1.1630663 Nick:Boblue score:1.1630663 Nick:blue723 score:1.1630663 Nick:blue\_eyed So every document has the same score. But shouldnt have.
