Search API precision (beta)
editSearch API precision (beta)
editThis functionality is in beta. Beta features are subject to change and are not covered by the support SLA of general release (GA) features. Elastic plans to promote this feature to GA in a future release.
Use the precision parameter of the search API to tune precision and recall for a query.
Learn more in Precision tuning (beta).
The value of the precision parameter must be an integer between 1 and 11, inclusive.
The range of values represents a sliding scale that manages the inherent tradeoff between precision and recall.
Lower values favor recall, while higher values favor precision.
See Precision tuning values for a description of all possible values.
