I am working on some recommendation problem as mine college project so task is to recommend a activity based on search term given by user and I am able to recommend similar result based on query. But I want to add filter so as to recommend that result on location based also and I have used following query but I am getting some error in that like - "term": {"state": ["IL"]}  
TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'

Elastic query-

```auto
{
                "query": {
                    "more_like_this": {
                        "fields": ["Categories", "Title", "About"],
                        "like": query,
                        "min_term_freq": 1,
                        "min_doc_freq": 30
                    },
                    "bool": {
                        "filter": [{
                            "term": {
                                "state": "IL"
                            }
                        }]
                    }
                }

            }

```

Thank you in advance
