I am executing script\_query with cosineSimilarity using tensorflow embedding. The embeddings are obtained from tensorflow-hub. model which is loaded using the url:  
"[TensorFlow Hub](https://tfhub.dev/google/universal-sentence-encoder/4)"

I am able to successfully create the index and execute simple search queries. But I get the following error when I try and execute script\_query.  
Query:

```auto
    similar_query = {
        "script_score":{
            "query":{"match_all":{}},
            "script":{
                "source":"cosineSimilarity(params.query_vector, 'vector')+1.0",
                    "params": {
                        "query_vector": query_vector
                    }
            }
        }
    }

```

Error:  
raceback (most recent call last):  
File "similarity\_search.py", line 49, in   
similar\_Utterances(es, query\_string)  
File "similarity\_search.py", line 34, in similar\_Utterances

elasticsearch.exceptions.RequestError: RequestError(400, 'search\_phase\_execution\_exception', 'compile error')

The first time I create the index and execute script query, it works and gives me output but after that simple search queries do work but for script query I get this error.  
I have this code as part of the docker image but the error persists as an independent python script too.  
I have checked the index using localhost:/index\_name and the index structure is accurate.
