I need to add a filter to suggest query. Is there a way to do that?

Sample query is

```
{
"suggest" : {
	"text" : "sem",
	"Body.Container.Text" : {
		"phrase" : {
			"field" : "Body.Container.Text.Raw",
			"analyzer" : "standard",
			"direct_generator" : [{
					"field" : "Body.Container.Text.Raw",
					"suggest_mode" : "always"
				}
			]
		}
	},
	"Metadata.Name" : {
		"phrase" : {
			"field" : "Metadata.Name.Raw",
			"analyzer" : "standard",
			"direct_generator" : [{
					"field" : "Metadata.Name.Raw",
					"suggest_mode" : "always"
				}
			]
		}
	},
	"Metadata.Description" : {
		"phrase" : {
			"field" : "Metadata.Description.Raw",
			"analyzer" : "standard",
			"direct_generator" : [{
					"field" : "Metadata.Description.Raw",
					"suggest_mode" : "always"
				}
			]
		}
	}
}

```

}
