Filtered Query
==============

A query that applies a filter to the results of another query. This query maps to Lucene **FilteredQuery**.


.. code-block:: js


    {
        "filtered" : {
            "query" : {
                "term" : { "tag" : "wow" }
            },
            "filter" : {
                "range" : {
                    "age" : { "from" : 10, "to" : 20 }
                }
            }
        }
    }


The filter object can hold only filter elements, not queries. Filters can be much faster compared to queries since they don't perform any scoring, especially when they are cached.
