I'm using elasticsearch-0.19.0, and I'm getting an error trying to use  
max\_boost with custom\_filters\_score,  
as per the documentation:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/custom-filters-score-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/custom-filters-score-query.html)

Here is my query object. I have max\_boost at the same level as score\_mode,  
and I'm confused as to where else it could go, or if I'm doing something  
else wrong.  
Thanks in advance!

{  
"query":{  
"custom\_filters\_score":{  
"query":{  
"term":{  
"go":"sf"  
}  
},  
"score\_mode":"total",  
"max\_boost":50,  
"params":{  
"param3":29,  
"param2":-1,  
"param1":-1  
},  
"filters":[  
{  
"filter":{  
"terms":{  
"names":[  
"Joe",  
"Bill"  
]  
}  
},  
"boost":2  
},  
{  
"filter":{  
"numeric\_range":{  
"age":{  
"to":40,  
"from":25  
}  
}  
},  
"script":  
"doc['age'].value\>param3 ? pow(doc['age'].value-param3,2)\*param1 : pow(doc['age'].value-param3,2)\*param2"  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

That looks correct. What error are you getting?
