How to avoid @search.score from Azure Search result?

Question

How to avoid @search.score from Azure Search result?

When I execute

var searchOptions = new SearchOptions
{
   Select = { "id" },
};
await _searchClient.SearchAsync<object>("*", searchOptions);

each record returned has a property called @search.score

Is there a way to avoid it? I only need the id.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided here, I would say it is not possible to omit @search.score.

"@search.score": document_score (if a text query was provided)

Just thinking out loud, one possible way would be to have your search result return a typed model instead of a generic object. So you could create a class called MyDocument that has one public property called id.

When you do something like:

await _searchClient.SearchAsync<MyDocument>("*", searchOptions);

You will get a collection of MyDocument objects which will only have id property.
