Support for filter

[natb1]

you may be looking for a "convenient" way to automatically embed a filter in a query clause, but for anybody else who is just wondering how to do this explicitly it is explained here:

@roscue there's an example on how to do it, I just posted at #15 (comment)

natb1 and consulthys are right, you can wrap a filter as a query and you're done.

In ElasticSearch Search API, filter is now deprecated and renamed to post_filter, to better reflect how it is used.
It only filters the documents that are returned, not the documents that are considered a match.
Although you can see it affects the number of total hits (because it counts the returned hits), it won't affect the faceting/aggregations.

Hence if I add such a feature, I would call it post_filter, and it would only affect the returned documents, not the updated ones.
I doubt this is what you need, so I take the liberty to close this issue.
For those interested in such post_filter functionality, please open a dedicated issue.
