Can I do a "range" filter on _score?

I’d like to perform a search, but only get back search results that have a score greater-than 0.5 for instance? I don’t want to get search results where the score is so low. I’d rather just not even have them come back in the JSON payload. Is this possible?

  "filters": {
    "book": {
      "_score": {
        "type": "range",
        "from": 0.5,
        "to": 10
      }
    }
  }
}

Hey Dan!

It’s not currently possible to include a range filter for _score value within a request. Options for base threshold limiting on result score is something we’ve looked into previously and even worked with a customer on efforts to custom implement host side. However, we ran into many complexities that quickly diluted the efficacy of a seemingly straight forward concept.
