For the most part, you can add the filter part of the Elasticsearch query DSL to the search bar of Kibana (see example [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/where-to-add-a-missing-filter-in-this-kibana-search/24845/3)). You can also add advanced logic to pinned filters by editing them (see [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/5109#issuecomment-151600967)).
