Hello, I know I do something wrong, but I couldn't figure out what.
I need to get really simple result back, with logic as following:
Get me all posts of users with provided IDs, but exclude 2 posts with
specific IDs.
Here is what I have:
[https://gist.github.com/2772255](https://gist.github.com/2772255)
But it doesn't exclude the posts. I'm actually getting posts with CHIzzfjoB1
and 0oT84UVtB1 back.
Could you please help me out with query?
Thank you

What is the mapping for post.postId?
Is it analyzed, or not\_analyzed?

No,.. it is not analyzed, just indexed.

Can you provide a fuller recreation? Including setting up teh index and the
relevant mappings, index sample data, and show the search that does not
work?
