How can i filter on my suggest list

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have read quite a few articles saying that you can not combine queries with suggesters.
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/19143 is this still true? (old)

If so, what would be the best way to filter on the suggest list? I have a requirement to have suggesters for company names. But the logged in person might only have access to certain companies. I would to be able to do it with my query.

GET company/_search
{
  "suggest": {
    "company-suggest": {
      "prefix": "trans",
      "completion": {
        "field": "companyName.completion",
        "fuzzy": {
          "fuzziness": 1
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The other option is "Dirty" is to just filter it afterwards either server-side or clientside , which i dont mind just want to make sure i am doing it the right way

OK, so figured it out. Filters do not work in Completion Suggester. But Completion Suggester provides Context Suggester, which are basically filters for completion fields.
Updated my query as follows.

GET company/_search
{
  "suggest": {
    "company-suggest": {
      "prefix": "sky",
      "completion": {
        "field": "companyName.completion",
        "contexts": {
          "companyGroupId": [
            "1595"
          ]
        },
        "fuzzy": {
          "fuzziness": 1
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Now i get the desired result, If i am missing anything please let me know
