When I run the example here:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/filter.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/filter.html)

I get a SearchParseException.

I need to filter my results but keep the facets in tact.

I ran all of the examples on that page on ES version 0.15.2, and they  
all work.

Would you like to give us some more details?
