I got the error

{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "parsing\_exception",  
"reason": "no [query] registered for [filtered]",  
"line": 3,  
"col": 17  
}  
],  
"type": "parsing\_exception",  
"reason": "no [query] registered for [filtered]",  
"line": 3,  
"col": 17  
},  
"status": 400  
}

when I ran the example  
GET /my\_index/blogpost/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"filter": {  
"term": { "user": 1 }  
}  
}  
}  
}

from  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/application-joins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/application-joins.html)

what am i missing?  
Thanks,  
Steve

Looks like the documentation is bit outdated,

I got the same error as you did, but the following query works,

```auto
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/my_index/blogpost/_search?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
    "query": {
		"bool": {
			"filter": {
				"term": {
					"user": 1
				}
			}			
		}
	}
}
'

```

Basically wrapped the `filter` query in `bool` query.

The user guide has not been updated to 5.x and 6.x yet.  
The reference guide is up to date.
