            "parent" : "1"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }

```

i want to exclude the documents from the search result for which user\_id field is present in both followed and phone\_book relation.  
i only want the documents with user\_id field only present in phone\_book and not in followed  
is there any way to achieve the result
