Hi,

I have a question on how the scoring being computed on the following query 
: 

{
  "from" : 0,
  "size" : 60,
  "explain" : true,
  "track_scores" : true,
  "query" : {
        "bool" : {
                "should" : [ 
                  { "prefix": { "DISPLAY_NAME" : { "value" : "*hap*", 
"rewrite" : "top_terms_10", "boost" : "3.0" }}},
                  { "prefix": {"PERFORMER" :{ "value" : "*hap*" }}}
                  
                ]
        }
   }
 }

and it produces result :

1)

                            "description": "coord(1/2)"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }


As both of the display name in the documents matched "*Hap*" it should have 
same scoring however it yields different scoring as shown above. Further 
inspection on the explaining i found
out that the different is in the queryWeight->idf and fieldWeight->idf 
fields :

1) * "value": 15.598923,*
*     "description": "idf(docFreq=2, maxDocs=6566786)"*

*2)*    *"value": 15.088098,*
*         "description": "idf(docFreq=4, maxDocs=6566786)"*


I would like to know why the value is different and how this is being 
computed and what is docFreq ? Also i would like to know what is 
queryWeight as when i use wildcard and prefix query it only will computed 
the score with queryWeight otherwise only fieldWeight.

I am using *&search_type=dfs_query_then_fetch&preference=_primary* in the 
query.

And here is the gist for full result :

Thanks.
