Hi everybody.

I'm having some strange problems with custom\_score queries.

My query is {"query": {"custom\_score": {"query": {"query\_string":  
{"default\_field": "keywords.kwds.tail", "query": "maxim"}}, "script" :  
"score \* doc['online']['rating'].value"}}}

My index contains one single document and this document is matched by  
query\_string part of query. Index's mapping is all default. However  
before-mentioned query gives me the following error:

rmihael@Lasombra tmp $ curl [http://localhost:9200/standard/\_search?pretty=on](http://localhost:9200/standard/_search?pretty=on)  
-d @query  
{  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 4,  
"failed" : 1,  
"failures" : [ {  
"index" : "standard",  
"shard" : 0,  
"reason" : "RemoteTransportException[[Jonas Harrow][inet[/  
10.37.129.2:9301]][search/phase/query]]; nested:  
QueryPhaseExecutionException[[standard][0]: query[custom score  
(keywords.kwds.tail:maxim,function=org.elasticsearch.index.query.xcontent.CustomScoreQueryParser  
$ScriptScoreFunction@6127d470)],from[0],size[10]: Query Failed [Failed  
to execute main query]]; nested: CompileException[[Error: No field  
found for [online]]\n[Near : {... Unknown ....}]\n ^  
\n[Line: 1, Column: 0]]; nested:  
ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[No field found for [online]]; "  
} ]  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"max\_score" : null,  
"hits" : []  
}  
}

'online' field is certainly in the document:

rmihael@Lasombra tmp $ curl [http://localhost:9200/standard/\_search?pretty=on](http://localhost:9200/standard/_search?pretty=on)  
-d '{"query": {"match\_all": {}}}'

"hits" : {  
"total" : 1,  
"max\_score" : 1.0,  
"hits" : [ {

} ]  
}  
}

Any suggestions on this issue?

Thanks in advance,

The doc element actually works on the fields created in the index (maps to  
the index name created). So, in your case, you would put  
doc['online.rating'].value
