Hi, Unable to get solution for the following requirement. Can anyone suggest on this please ? - I have a ES query that searches for 4 fields in my index and provides highlighted result. But i want to score the highlighted fields of every single document. - Although i'm able to get Score for every document but i want to fetch score of highlighted fields of each document. ---

I don't think you can really do that unless you use may be `?explain=true` so that will give you the detailed score per field. ---

i tried that but it seems complex, gets lots of unnecessary detail apart from this there is no specific keys so that i can fetch the scores easily. I have tried using named queries. It provided a key named " matched\_query " in response but idk whether its sorting the field names on behalf their matching score or not. Can you suggest anything on this please ---

The named query will only tell you which query matched. Not which field of the query matched and with which score. Have a look at `sub_searches` in case this gives you better results. See [Search API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-search.html#request-body-sub-searches) ---

Hi **sub\_searches** doesn't meet my requirement. can you suggest anything else ? ---
