Hi @JasonStoltz

Can you confirm that the latest AppSearch 7.7 has no options, nor workarounds, to discard unrelated docs / low score?

We discussed it in Dec19 and I loosely followed the releases notes but your answer to @Kevin_Ferm seems to highlight the fact that no official progress has been made on this topic.

Cheers,  
Thomas
