Hi  
I'm trying to create a script to modify the score of my queries.  
I want to access the position of a word in the results I am obtaining.  
For example the word: "global" in the string name= "Global corporation". So I want to know that global is the position: 1  
I'm doing it with painless :

"functions": [  
{  
"script\_score": {  
"script": "doc['nombre'].get('Global',\_POSSITION)"  
}  
}  
]

But I am obtaining compling errors with : Possition. (Global is the word I want to know the possition). This is just a try to see if I can obtain the position of a word . I have performed

GET index/doc/1/termvectors?field=nombre

And I can see that the position of the tokens are stored there.

How can I acess that value in my script?

Thanks!
