Hi ,

I have a document like below -  
Here items made nested in the mapings.  
{  
"shopName" : "royal super market",  
"geo": "1.234,2.121",  
"items": [  
{  
"name": "rubber",  
"relevancy": 20  
},  
{  
"name": "pen",  
"relevancy": 10  
}  
]  
}  
Here i want to query on shopName , filter based on certain items and then score document based on geo and matched item names relevancy field.  
I was hoping to push everything to functions in function score query.  
But i cant seem to find anyway to get relevancy field value inside functions function of function\_score.  
Script does not seem to be able to pick values from inside nested object ( that is without touching \_source )

Let me know if there is any method to do this ?

Thanks  
Vineeth
