bq: ...while the fields are not part of the search query
I'm really confused. The presence or absence of fields that
aren't part of the search should be totally irrelevant to
scoring. Are you perhaps sorting by a different field?
It'd help if you showed us the query you're sending, a sample
of the doc you're having problems with and, perhaps, the
request handler definition.
Barring all that, perhaps just adding &debug=query to your URL
(and perhaps showing us that) would shed some light on this.
Because on the surface, I don't see any connection here.
Best,
Erick
