Hi,
I'm new to elasticsearch and see myself confronted with a problem that I can't solve on my own.
I have a simple template, that I index on my server. This template is supposed to retrieve documents with specific tags.
Every tag has a scoring value, that I determined in an earlier query. I now want to score all the retrieved documents depending on the score of their tags with the following logic:
```
"template":{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": {
"constant_score": {
"filter": {
"terms": {
"tags": [1,2]
}
}
}
},
"functions":
[
{
"filter": { "term": { "tags": 1 }},
"weight": 0.7
},
{
"{filter": { "term": { "tags": 2 }},
"weight": 1.2
}
],
"score_mode": "sum"
}
}
}
```
I would like to inject the "functions" part to the template dynamically because I do not know the number of tags and their weight when indexing the template. I tried something like this, which does not work:
```
POST /_search/template/mytemplate
{
"template":{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": {
"constant_score": {
"filter": {
"terms": {
"tags": [1,2]
}
}
}
},
"functions": "{{my_parameter}}",
"score_mode": "sum"
}
}
}
}
POST /index/type/_search/template
{
"id": "mytemplate",
"parameter": {
"my_parameter": "[{\"filter\": { \"term\": { \"tags\": 1 }},\"weight\": 0.7},{\"{filter\": { \"term\": { \"tags\": 2 }}, \"weight\": 1.2}]"
}
}
```
Is there any simple solution to that, or do I have to do the scoring with a script?

Found a solution here:

I wasn't aware that this can only be done with an inline query.
