Hi,

I am have a script\_score function that calculates the euclidean distance between a set of points. This is working well and sorting the result by score ascending gets the job done to get the top match with lowest distance.

Now I need to get all the nearest neighbors based on specified threshold, say I want to exclude all points that score a distance of 0.5 and above. I noticed there is a min\_score property but no max\_score.

Is there a way to do this with a search query or should I just keep pulling results until I reach the threshold?
