Hi, is it possible to add scoring on nested filters? I can't get it to work. Right now I'm using CustomFiltersScoreQueryBuilder and adding nestedFilters to it via NestedFilterBuilder. Any help appreciated. Thanks Arny ---

What is the problem? Can you gist a curl example?

I'm using the Java library. Isn't there an example on how to use CustomFiltersScoreQueryBuilder with script on nested objects?

No, there isn't. You are using script in the custom filters score, are you expecting to be able to use the nested docs values in the script? If so, you can't, you will only be able to use the parent doc values.

Oh, that would explain why my score is dropping to zero when I'm trying to use script on nested objects. Is this hard to implement by ES or why is it not supported?

Its just that you can't do it in the custom\_filters\_score, you can use a nested query, and have a custom score query in it that will have a script that works on values associated with each nested doc.
