Hi,

Is it possible to use jaro-winker rather than levenshtein distance for  
fuzzy queries? Any ideas how one could go about extending ES to enable  
this.

I have looked at using function score like below however this does not work  
for me seeing as I cannot combine this with another query that uses  
provided analyzers. For example I would like to combine a search using  
phonetic encoding & jaro-winker distance.

query: {  
"function\_score" : {  
"query" : {  
"match\_all" : { }  
},  
"script\_score" : {  
"script" : "daon-jaro-winkler",  
"lang" : "native",  
"params" : {  
"fullname\_untokenized" : {  
"query" : "some name"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Thanks,  
Adrian
