I'm trying to build an OR logic facet (aggregation). From what I understand the best way to filter a query for an aggregation value is to use the `filter` clause. That is because a filter limits the results without having an effect on relevancy scoring. However, it seems like the filter acts as a `must` match. I'd like the use the filter as a `should` I believe. Is this possible?
