Hi, Has anyone been able to use query rescoring and sort by a field other then the score? Whenever I add the sort, I get a constant score of 1 to all documents, even when adding track\_scores. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Did you get answer for your question? I found alternatives that I add to my post but we need to use sort especially with rescore.. Is there a way to make it happen? Also, one very important thing – rescoring cannot be combined with sorting, because sorting is done after changes introduced by rescoring. [http://elasticsearchserverbook.com/elasticsearch-0-90-using-rescore/](http://elasticsearchserverbook.com/elasticsearch-0-90-using-rescore/) [http://jontai.me/blog/2013/01/advanced-scoring-in-elasticsearch/](http://jontai.me/blog/2013/01/advanced-scoring-in-elasticsearch/) But if you have different document types, you may need to make some manual adjustments. For example, we index both articles and videos. Articles have a lot of textual content — the entire body of the article — but videos only have a short description field. By default Lucene will prefer a match in a shorter field, so when videos match they tend to score higher than articles. [http://grokbase.com/t/gg/elasticsearch/135ps9t41p/boosting-based-on-a-child-documents-field](http://grokbase.com/t/gg/elasticsearch/135ps9t41p/boosting-based-on-a-child-documents-field) set metadat to documents types and then use the the script "script": "\_score \* doc['rating'].value" to get the score .
