I know booleanQuery will add score of should clauses and must clauses. I used to do **log(scoreOfShould) + log(scoreOfMust) + log(\_score)** for sorting as scoreOfShould \* scoreOfMust \* \_score.
In my case, scoreOfShould is querying nested doc, and the final score sometimes less than 1 which leads log(scoreOfShould) to be negative.
My query object looks like this. The outer object has titile, description, outerRatio and logOuterRatio. The nested object has keyword, innerRatio and logInnerRatio. What I want is sorting by outerRatio \* innerRatio \* \_score. So I get \_score from the multiMatch, then use script\_score to calulate logOutRatio + log(\_score), then add the max log(innerRatio) of hit child docs. Sometimes, log(innerRatio) is negative to weaken the must result.
**But negative score is not supported in 7.x, any one can help on this?**
