title: Azure Search - Search Score
body: <p>I am currently using Azure Search to perform product searches on my website.</p>
  
  <p>I have the following indexes:</p>
  
  <p><strong>A</strong>: Index with 55,000 documents<br>
  <strong>B</strong>: Inde with 16 documents</p>
  
  <p>All documents in index <strong>B</strong> were filled with index <strong>A</strong> documents</p>
  
  <p>When performing a simple search in the 2 indices with the same parameters the results are not what I expect.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example</strong>:
  <hr>
  <strong>Index A</strong>:<br><br>
  <strong>Query String</strong>: search=kfc</p>
  
  <p>Result sorted by search.score descending:<br><br>
  <strong>ProductoName</strong> - <strong>search.score</strong><br>
  KFC Product1 -   1.6514521<br>
  KFC Product2 -   1.5482594</p>
  
  <p><hr>
  <strong>Index B</strong>:<br><br>
  <strong>Query String</strong>: search=kfc</p>
  
  <p>Result sorted by search.score descending:<br><br>
  <strong>ProductoName</strong> - <strong>search.score</strong><br>
  KFC Product2 -  0.21555252<br>
  KFC Product1 -  0.13616839

  I am surprised the order of the results by search score changes, because they are exactly the same data only the amount of documents changes</p>
  
  <p>The amount of documents affect in the assignment of search score ?, Could you indicate where I can read about it, I look in the documentation but I did not find anything about it</p>
  
  <p>Could you explain to me why the order of the products is affected if it is the same information? :(</p>
  
  <p>The Index has no Scoring Profile and is exactly the same information</p>
