Hi,  
I have a scenario where I have to exclude range filter if price is not passed in the params to the template.  
something like

{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"match": {  
"name": "{{query\_keywords}}"  
}  
},  
"filter":{  
"bool":{  
"must" :[  
{{#price}}  
{"range" : {"price" : {"gte": "{{min}}","lte":"{{max}}}}}  
{{/price}}  
]  
}  
}

```
		}
	}

```

}

but I am not able to achieve this. so I am setting default value if price is not set like below  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"match": {  
"name": "{{query\_keywords}}"  
}  
},  
"filter":{  
"bool":{  
"must" :[  
{"range" : {"price" : {"gte": "{{price.min}}{{^price.min}}0{{/price.min}}"}}}  
]  
}  
}

```
		}
	}

```

}

This will hamper the performance in production. So can anyone suggest what has to be done. The example given the ES doc doesnt work. How to achieve this? Please help.
