If I'm using the filter context of either a bool or a constant\_score query, how are nested (i.e. compound) queries treated under them? It makes sense to me that everything under it would be run as filter, but I can't find anything in the documentation that confirms that. I want to make sure there is no scoring at all while running the query to make it as efficient as possible.
I want to verify that this:
```
{
"query": {
"contant_score": {
"filter": [
"bool" : {
"should" : [
{ "term" : { "tag" : "wow" } },
{ "bool" : ... nested queries ...} }
]
}
]
}
}
}
```
will be run entirely under the filter context and that I don't have to use a constant\_score wrapper for each subquery.
