Hi, I am a beginner with ElasticSearch. I am developing mobile application with Elasticsearch as this scheme: ``` FrontEnd BackEnd Mobile application <---> Firebase cloud function <---> elasticsearch database ``` I already made the BackEnd logic that builds the main and search lists, that will be loaded on application side. now I'm facing this situation : Application complete list: ``` **RankN° PersonName Score** 1 AAAA-aaa 2500 2 AAAA-aaa 2000 3 BBBB-bbb 1000 4 BBBB-xxxx 500 4 CCCC-cccc 400 5 DDDD-ddd 300 ``` When user search for example BBBB i want that my search query return : ``` **Rank N° PersonName Score** 3 BBBB-bbb 1000 4 BBBB-xxxx 500 ``` insteadof ``` **Rank N° PersonName Score** 1 BBBB-bbb 1000 2 BBBB-xxxx 500 ``` My solution this time is to update RankN° each time complete list requested. Like that i will able keeping same rank in search results. My question is : is there a more optimal way with elasticsearch to do that ? Thanks ---
