The new time\_frame datatype and filters introduced in 5.2 ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/range.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/range.html)) allow for very convenient filters on intersects of date ranges, e.g. (inspired by the documentation):

GET range\_index/\_search  
{  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"filter" : {  
"range" : {  
"time\_frame" : {  
"gte" : "2015-10-15",  
"lte" : "2015-11-10",  
"relation" : "intersects"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

However, this only tells us that the two time frames intersect, not by how much. Is there any way existing or foreseen to also filter these intersects by minimum / maximum duration, let's say all time\_frames that intersect by at least 2 weeks (I couldn't find any, but might have overlooked the obvious)?
