Hi, I've come across an issue when attempting to query with has\_parent. Specifically it seems to be an issue when you have multiple child documents and add "score\_type": "score". I've created a gist with a simple example using properties and people. > 123 Fake St -\> John Smith -\> Bob Jones -\> Rob Bardon Querying for "John Smith" with a parent "123 Fake St" returns "John Smith" as expected. Querying for "Bob Jones" with a parent "123 Fake St" returns no results. If I remove the "score\_type" it returns "Bob Jones" as expected. ES Version: 0.90.0 and 0.90.2 Java Version: java version "1.7.0\_11" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0\_11-b21) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode) Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to construct the query? In reality I'll have multiple search terms against a person's name (hence the min should match) as well as the address and I want to order by best match against both parent and child.
