Help querying array of nested objects

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I'm having difficulty crafting a query and I was hoping for some help. I
created a gist with the general idea: https://gist.github.com/rolyv/4725510

Each of my documents has an array of these "criteria" objects. These
criteria objects each have a boolean flag for requiredness and a token id.
Each user in the system has a set of tokens. So when a user executes a
query, I take the user's tokens and I want to craft a query/filter so that
the documents returned follow this logic:

  1. a document is returned if all its required criteria are met by the user.
    (a document with only optional, required = false, criteria would also be
    returned)
  2. the score of the document should directly relate to how many of the
    criteria are met by the user (both optional and required).

I think I can do part 2 straightforwardly with a bool query and a bunch of
should clauses, but the filter for part 1 is evading me. Any help is much
appreciated.

Thanks,

Roly

Hey Roly,

To query in your criteria objects you will need to use a nested
query/filter as a wrapper. For the other properties you can use a regular
query.
See my query example here: query.json · GitHub

You can use the nested query's score mode to control how the scores from
the criteria objects are mapped into the search hits:
