Using geo distance in custom_score

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Thanks for a great product!

Is there a way to use a geo distance in a custom_score? Should I wrap
my custom_score around a _geo_distance-sort filter? I do not want to
filter by a distance, just calculate a custom score based on the
distance from a fixed point.

Thanks!

Its not simple to access it from a script, but it should be. Something like
(assuming params include lat and lon to compute the distance from):

doc['geo_point_field'].distance(lat, lon)

Can you open a feature for it? should be simple to implement.
