 [[glossary-query]] query ::
 
-A query is the basic component of a search. A search can be defined by one or
-more queries which can be mixed and matched in endless combinations. While
-<<glossary-filter,filters>> are queries that only determine if a document
-matches, those queries that also calculate how well the document matches are
-known as "scoring queries". Those queries assign it a score, which is later used
-to sort matched documents. Scoring queries take more resources than
-<<glossary-filter,non scoring queries>> and their query results are not
-cacheable. As a general rule, use query clauses for full-text search or for any
-condition that requires scoring, and use filters for everything else.
+A request for information from {es}. You can think of a query as a question,
+written in a way {es} understands. A search consists of one or more queries
+combined.
++
+There are two types of queries: _scoring queries_ and _filters_. For more
+information about query types, see {ref}/query-filter-context.html[Query and filter context].
