Hi all, i'm working with elasticsearch PHP client and performed basic  
search operation. Now i want to perform filter operation in search results.  
The code is below

$params = array();  
$params['index'] = "programs";  
$params['type'] = 'program';  
$query['match']['\_all'] = $\_POST['name'];  
$filter['term']['tags'] = "sports";  
$params['body']['query']['filtered'] = array(  
'query' =\> $query,  
'filter' =\> $filter  
);  
$results = $client-\>search($params);

The tags field contains (sports,health etc in comma separated) but it  
returns nothing. I want to filter search result with like operation.How can  
perform this?
