James,

Sounds like you want to query the parents and then score/rank them by the  
sum of the userScore values of their corresponding children. You can try  
something like this:

POST [http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"has\_child": {  
"type": "",  
"score\_type": "sum",  
"query": {  
"function\_score": {  
"script\_score": {  
"script": "doc['.userScore'].value"  
},  
"boost\_mode": "replace"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
