Greetings,

I am trying to use some named queries just to check if a term is part of an array field, without really filtering the documents or impacting their scores based on these queries. In other words, this is similar to a script field that will be true if the term exists in the array field or false otherwise.

Is this possible using named queries? or do I need to use something else?

Regards
