Do the following 2 scenarios generate different results? 1. search for word 

blue

 in field 

x

 : “blue blue” 2. search for word 

blue

 in field 

y

 : [“blue”, “blue”] Does any of them take priority/precedence over the other? will the document that has the 

x

 field be a better hit than the one with the 

y

 field, or vice versa?

2 will be ranked higher because one of the tokens matches the full value exactly

thanks. so does the number of occurences of a word in a field value impact the ranking?

Currently I believe, no.
