I have a need to search through collapsed results, is this possible?  
Something like this

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  },
  "sort": { "createdTime": "desc" },
  "collapse": {
    "field": "name.raw",
    "query":{
      "match": {
        "name": {
          "query": "John",
          "fuzziness": "AUTO"
        }
      }
    },
    "size": 6
  }
}

```
