Hi,

I'm working on upgrading Lucene from 7.0.0 to the latest 8.4.1. We're using
a CustomScoreQuery to score docs/results differently based on their
distance from a the user's location and also some other factors like the
type of the document (i.e. say if we stored documents of places to eat, a
restaurant would have a different boost value vs say a bar).

In the change log it was suggested to use FunctionScoreQuery instead. From
my understanding, it looks like FunctionScoreQuery can only be used for
index-time boosts (i.e. by using a field value present in the document) but
the above use case probably needs something more dynamic due to the
distance calculation.

Was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to achieve this or if maybe
I'm misunderstanding something?

Thanks,
Kevin
