Hi, custom\_score query support just pushed to master. This allows to easily control the scoring (or completely replace) of a query based on the query score and other document field values. Much more is explained in the issue: [http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/220](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/220), but here is a simple sample: "custom\_score" : { "query" : { .... }, "script" : "score \* doc['my\_numeric\_field'].value" } This was requested by several users, for example, to control the scoring based on recency of documents. -shay.banon ---

Hi, So one can put any sort of a custom formula in that "script" value, ha? Sounds like the equivalent of Solr's function queries? ( [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery) ) Or maybe a basic version of function queries? ## Thanks, Otis Sematext :: [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch Lucene ecosystem search :: [http://search-lucene.com/](http://search-lucene.com/) On Jun 13, 8:19 pm, Shay Banon [shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > Hi, > > custom\_score query support just pushed to master.

Yes, it similar in spirit to function queries, it is actually modeled after Lucene custom score query (but not used directly). Why do you say its a basic version of function queries, is there something you can do with the other that you can't do with this? -shay.banon On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 8:17 AM, Otis [otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com](mailto:otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > So one can put any sort of a custom formula in that "script" value, > ha? > > Sounds like the equivalent of Solr's function queries?

Hi, Yeah, I purposely said "basic" simply because I wasn't sure whether the new "script" stuff can be used to do all those things listed on [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery) . Can it? It would be great to list a few examples somewhere, so we can get a better idea. For example, can the "script" functionality be used for these (randomly picked from the above Wiki page): [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#ord](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#ord) [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#sum](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#sum) [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#recip](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#recip) [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#ms](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#ms) [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#geohash\_-\_Convert\_to\_geohash](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#geohash_-_Convert_to_geohash) [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#strdist](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#strdist) ## Thanks, Otis Sematext :: [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch Lucene ecosystem search :: [http://search-lucene.com/](http://search-lucene.com/) On Jun 15, 3:30 am, Shay Banon [shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > Yes, it similar in spirit to function queries, it is actually modeled after > Lucene custom score query (but not used directly).

This is just mvel script running, you can do what you want with it, its basically code... . So, you can do all of the above and much much more since you are not bounded by static functions. -shay.banon On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 7:27 AM, Otis [otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com](mailto:otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > Yeah, I purposely said "basic" simply because I wasn't sure whether > the new "script" stuff can be used to do all those things listed on > [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery) .
