I am executing search requests with a sort defined. In this case, from a performance perspective is it better to do a match\_all query and then add the query as a filter or is it basically equivalent? Should I wrap the query in a constant score query to avoid any scoring overhead? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

A match\_all query or a constant score query would be equivalent. -- Ivan On Sun, May 11, 2014 at 10:31 PM, slushi [kireetreddy@gmail.com](mailto:kireetreddy@gmail.com) wrote: > I am executing search requests with a sort defined.
