Function_score retrieve stranges results

Elastic Search

Hello !

I'm using function_score alongside a knn query and the results are kind of strange.

I get results with very large distance from the function I ask. In this example you will get a game at 14 age where I ask 7 with the function_score.

Maybe the filter in knn has too much weight ?

Here is how to create the case :

PUT /bug_filters
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "embedding": {
        "type": "dense_vector",
        "dims": 384
      }
    }
  }
}

The data:

Here is the query: (embedding is "Science Fiction")

GET bug_filters/_search
{
  "from": 0,
  "size": 3,
  "knn": {
    "field": "embedding",
    "query_vector": [
