I'm exploring various options for a search engine for our rails-app/data. I  
was able to make sunspot/solr work and I'm currently exploring  
ElasticSearch as an alternative, but couldn't get the same  
thing(scoping/filtering) to work.

I would like to filter/scope objects as described in the "Scoping (Scalar  
Fields)" section in '[https://github.com/sunspot/sunspot](https://github.com/sunspot/sunspot)'. Not sure if  
'filters' in Elastic Search mean the same thing.

I have an active record class 'Product'.

```
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
...

  include Tire::Model::Search
  include Tire::Model::Callbacks

  tire.mapping do
    indexes :name, :type => :string
    indexes :categories do
      indexes :id, :type => :integer
    end
  end
end

```

Once I imported products into ES,

the following query works and gives results

```
Product.tire.search { query { string '*', default_operator: "AND", 

```

default\_field: "name" } }.results

How do I get products of a particular category given a category id ?

```
Product.tire.search { query { string '*', default_operator: "AND", 

```

default\_field: "name" }; filter(:term, 'categories.id' =\> 38) }.results

I'm basically looking for the tire equivalent for the following sunspot  
call:

```
Product.search do
  with(:category_ids, 38)
end

```

with the following in the Product class

```
searchable :auto_index => true, :auto_remove => true do
  text :name

  integer :category_ids, :multiple => true do
     self.categories.map &:id
  end

end

```
