Hi,

I would to know is there anyway to enable scoring when using wildcard in  
query\_sting query. Below is my query :

{  
"from": 0,  
"size": 100,  
"explain": true,  
"track\_scores": true,  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"fields": [  
"DISPLAY\_NAME^8",  
"PERFORMER"  
],  
"query": "hap\*"  
}  
}  
}

and it returns result below (which doesn't sort properly as it doesn't  
compute the scores) :
