Hi, I am not familiar with Sphinx but doesn't the ES custom score scripting sound interesting?

It does sounds interesting but will require me to store all of the values I want to override with inside ES, whereas Sphinx lets you load those values dynamically and externally...

Note that the script itself is driven by you, the user, so you can have whatever values you want in that formula. For example, assume the value you want to inject to the scoring is 3.14, then you can have a custom score function script that looks like this: \_score \* 3.14 Though, in such a case, it make more sense (performance wise), to provide that value as a parameter (so the compiled script will be reused). This is explained on the same custom\_score query page, under the Script parameters.
