Hi,
I have a question about creating the following query:
My field _location_ can store multiple values in it, e.g.:
```
"geolocations": [
"51.2171728, 8.654843",
"50.2171728, 8.645487",
]
```
Is it possible to increase or decrease the score?
I want a higher score, if there is only one element in it and a lower score the more elements are in it.
The last hour i spend searching for a solution in the net and documentations but did not found anything.
Maybe using a functions with script\_score? Appreciate any help 🙂

Yes, a function\_score query with a script score function would work. Something like this:
```auto
GET test/_search
{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": {
***YOUR REGULAR QUERY GOES HERE***
},
"functions": [
{
"script_score": {
"script": "if (doc['geolocations'].values.length > 0) { return 1.0 / (doc['geolocations'].values.length) } else { return 0 }"
}
}
]
}
}
}
```
You could also add a field to your documents at index time that indicates how many geolocations there are. Then you could use that number in a function\_score [field value factor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html#function-field-value-factor) function, and you would not have to use scripting.

Hi Abdon,
thank you so much for the script 🙂
But i think your 2nd idea is even better 😃
