-Because scores can be on different scales (for example, between 0 and 1 for decay functions but arbitrary for `field_value_factor`) and also because sometimes a different impact of functions on the score is desirable, the score of each function can be adjusted with a user defined `weight` (). The `weight` can be defined per function in the `functions` array (example above) and is multiplied with the score computed by the respective function.

If weight is given without any other function declaration, `weight` acts as a function that simply returns the `weight`.

+In case `score_mode` is set to `avg` the individual scores will be combined by a **weighted** average.

+For example, if two functions return score 1 and 2 and their respective weights are 3 and 4, then their scores will be combined as
