I want to use filters in my search, each one with a query that results in a score. I then want to use score\_mode 'total' to combine the filter scores. I do want to control the scores of each filter (and query within it), but using the original score of the query inside a filter. I want the script of the filter to be something like Script("\_score \* 50/100"). This way I can set the weightage of each filter in the overall search score. However using \_score in the filter script of a custom\_filters\_score is not allowed. How can I get the original score of a filter (and its inner query) computed by ElasticSearch, which I can use as base for my custom score for a filter? Any help is greatly appreciated.
