Is there a way or a point in filtering all results bellow a certain score?
e.g. exclude all results bellow score Y.Thanks

not out of the box, you'd hav to write aq custom request handler to do 
this ... but unless your custom request handler also changes the scoring 
forula drasticly, filtering by min-score is pretty much meaningless...
