Why does the explainScore in Weaviate Hybrid Search show only “Hybrid (Result Set keyword)” or “Hybrid (Result Set vector)” for the documents? Shouldn’t it display the combined score of both search method?

For an example:

Doc 1:  
Document(metadata=f’\_additional’: {‘explainScore: InHybrid (Result Set keyword) Document 609d039f-e  
9a9-44e4-b8c7-e7ef41c6089f: original score 1.7917178, normalized score: 0.5’, ‘score’: ‘0.5’})

Doc 2:  
Document(metadata=f’\_additional’: {‘explainScore: InHybrid (Result Set vector) Document 78d7e091-c67 a-4274-b6b8-fbc3ec2fed06: original score 0.8347468, normalized score: 0.5’, 'score: '0,5’}}

Hey @Maria_Clara_Assuncao,

Welcome to the community! Great to have you here.

I ran some quick tests, and I can print both values without any issues. Maybe you can share your code, and I’ll test it on my end to see where the problem might be.
