Hi,  
I am using version 1.3.7 and have problems with dynamic mappings of  
complex fields and filters. It seems this is not supported as I cannot  
obtain the results, but get an empty set response each time.  
I have found this link suggesting the  
same [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/unmapped-nested-types-in-queries-td4067651.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/unmapped-nested-types-in-queries-td4067651.html).  
Is there a fix or a workaround this, apart from creating a mapping or  
flattening  
the dynamic mapping.  
Thanks,  
Ilija

My dynamic mapping adds a structure like this:

{ "meta":  
{ "dates":  
{"start":long},  
{"end":long}  
}  
}

when I try to query using something like this:

{  
"size": 2,  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"range": {  
"meta.dates.start": {  
"from": 1417787100  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

I get nothing back, and I can confirm by looking at the data that there  
should be results.
