The filter values needs to be parsed to the sql

Example:

```
  SELECT url , version, COUNT(*) AS K FROM "table_*" WHERE version='9.0.3.9' or version='9.0.3.10' GROUP BY url, version HAVING 
    K <2 ORDER BY url
     DESC

```

==============================  
essql

```
SELECT url , version, COUNT(*) AS K FROM "table_*" WHERE version='$ **version**' or version='$ **version**' GROUP BY url, version HAVING 
K <2 ORDER BY url
 DESC

```

Adding two dropdown filters will automatically filter your essql but with an AND between those filters.

@Catherine_Liu or @Joe_Fleming knows better if we can we "disable" that filtering behaviour and use the filter values inside the essql expression?

I left a reply here that I think applies to this question as well: [Canvas : is it possible to send varaibles to esql, edocs query argument or is it a limitation in canvas](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/canvas-is-it-possible-to-send-varaibles-to-esql-edocs-query-argument-or-is-it-a-limitation-in-canvas/181524/5)
