bq: We sort first by the score and then by a random field. This is highly unlikely to produce anything useful. Your secondary sort (random field) will only be used if your primary sort (score) matches exactly, which is usually quite rare. Unless you're somehow doing a constant-score query (e.g. *:*)....
So either you have a very unusual corpus that is scoring lots and lots of docs exactly the same or there's something I'm not understanding.
