Hi,

Is it possible to be able to create a search filter based on a calculated/computed field?  
I have this document :

```auto
{
"amount": 100,
"taxe": 10,
[...]
}

```

I want to be able to search only records where `"amount" + "taxe" <= 100`  
I saw that it exists (script\_fields) for elastic :

```auto
GET /_search
{
  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  },
  "script_fields": {
    "test1": {
      "script": {
        "lang": "painless",
        "source": "doc['price'].value * 2"
      }
    }
}

```

Does this exist for App Search? Or is there a solution to do this?

Thanks

Hi Steven,

Unfortunately, this is not possible in App Search at this time. Supported filters types are listed here:

> **[Search API filters | Elastic App Search Documentation \[8.1\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/filters.html)**

Look at the second example here [Script query | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-script-query.html#query-dsl-script-query)

It calculates amount.signed then matches if that is less than 10.
