Search for relevanceedit
Sometimes you might be unsure which documents best match your question. Elasticsearch assigns a relevancy, or score to each document, so you can can narrow your search to the documents with the most relevant results. The higher the score, the better it matches your query.
For example, suppose you have the sample flights data set, and you’re a searching for
a flight that arrived or departed from Warsaw
or Venice
when the weather was clear.
-
In Discover, open the index pattern dropdown, and select
kibana_sample_data_flight
. - In the query bar, click KQL, and switch to the Lucene query syntax.
-
Search for
Warsaw OR Venice OR Clear
. - If you don’t see any results, open the time filter and select a time range that contains data.
-
From the list of Available fields, add
_score
to the document table. -
In the document table, click the header for the
_score
column, and then sort the column by descending scores.The results are currently sorted by first
Time
, and then by_score
. -
To sort only by
_score
