Hello, I have a strange behavior with a custom\_score query ( normally the script applied to the score of the documents returned by the query ) here is my prob: I have a total of 440 hits with "script": "if (doc ['boost\_category'] empty == 'false'.) {return doc ['boost\_category'] value \* \_score.} else {return \_score} " and 4977 hits returned using the function: "script": "\_score" thank you to explain to me this behavior ?

Do you get any shard failures with the more complex script?

How does the failure look like? Can you post the response that you get when request fails? Do you see any error messages in the log?
