I hava a field named **pic\_url** which is set to index:no ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/8/86b9f64b23ffbeb602a4946fdf2dbb962052fad2.jpg)

it's just a field to store a url,and i don't want to make it searchable or to influence the score result.  
But once i update the pic\_url field(only the field,nothing else) ,the score changed... can anyone help? thank you very much.

Try the following:

```auto
"pic_url" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"index": "not_analyzed"
}

```
