I'm wondering how I might be able to utilize pre-computed scores. E.g. let's say that we're searching for a college to go to and have computed scores for some number of attributes. Is there some way I could do custom scoring utilizing my precomputed values? The part where I'm getting stuck is combining function score query[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html)with a nested mapping[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-nested-type.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-nested-type.html) . Any tips? { attributes: [ { term: "computer science" , score: 95 }, { term: "biology" , score: 67 }, { term: "mathematics" , score: 50 }, { term: "english" , score: 34 }, { term: "football" , score: 69 }, { term: "parties" , score: 74 }, { term: "graduate pay" , score: 82 }, ] } Thanks, Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, if you take your time to create a gist, which other people can easily run locally, the likelihood of getting help is much higher. Also please not what you expect and what is not being returned in your queries.

As I understand it nested objects can't be referenced this way because of some internal structural behaviour and I was advised to use an array with string concatenation ['computer science:95',...] - this then relates to my recent question at [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/wq0t2sxBqUA](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/wq0t2sxBqUA) Hash On Wednesday, 6 November 2013 05:11:11 UTC+1, Ben McCann wrote: > I'm wondering how I might be able to utilize pre-computed scores.
