I'm trying to boost my articles based on the post\_date field in the index.  
I've followed along this tutorial[http://jontai.me/blog/2013/01/advanced-scoring-in-elasticsearch/](http://jontai.me/blog/2013/01/advanced-scoring-in-elasticsearch/)as best I could but I'm running into some issues. When I execute the following  
curl [https://gist.github.com/greatwitenorth/144507f760bbe3a311a6](https://gist.github.com/greatwitenorth/144507f760bbe3a311a6) it gives  
me this error:  
nested: QueryParsingException[[spna] [custom\_filters\_score] query does not  
support [query]];

So I thought, OK I'll remove query from custom\_filters\_score but when I do  
that I get this error:  
nested: QueryParsingException[[spna] [custom\_filters\_score] requires  
'query' field];

I'm not really sue what to do here. I'm guessing it's a formatting error in  
my curl statement. But these error messages are kind of contradicting each  
other.

OK I think I found my syntax error. I've passed in a query\_string into  
query. But now the issue is with the script. I'm getting an error:  
"error" : "CompileException[[Error: No field found for  
[org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Longs@359abca] in  
mapping with types [post]]\n[Near : {... \*pow(10,-11)) \* abs(now -  
doc[post\_date].date.getM ....}]\n ^\n[Line:  
1, Column: 35]]; nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[No field  
found for [org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Longs@359abca]  
in mapping with types [post]]; ",

Here is the curl I'm using now:

Here is the mappings for the index:  
{  
"spna" : {  
"post" : {  
"properties" : {  
"category" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"post\_author" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"post\_content" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"post\_date" : {  
"type" : "date",  
"format" : "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"  
},  
"post\_tag" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"post\_title" : {  
"type" : "string"  
}  
}  
},  
"page" : {  
"properties" : {  
"post\_author" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"post\_content" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"post\_date" : {  
"type" : "date",  
"format" : "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"  
},  
"post\_title" : {  
"type" : "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
