I am new to elastic search. I have indexed a document and searching the document with same value. The index analyzer and search analyzer is same. Still the score is 0.625.

Why do you think you need a score equal to 1? -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 9 mai 2013 à 04:18, Arjit Gupta [arjit292@gmail.com](mailto:arjit292@gmail.com) a écrit : I am new to elastic search.

I am assuming that if the input query matches the document which is indexed its score should be approaching 1. I know that it depends on tf and idf of the document , which is score in a shard. The problem I am facing is "The beautiful book" and "the book beautiful" have the same score.

Ok. It's a question of analysis. "The beautiful book" has been indexed to: "beautiful", "book" When you search, your query is analyzed as well. That's the reason of the same score. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 9 mai 2013 à 04:37, Arjit Gupta [arjit292@gmail.com](mailto:arjit292@gmail.com) a écrit : I am assuming that if the input query matches the document which is indexed its score should be approaching 1.
