{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"filter": {},  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}  
}  
}

and

{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"filter": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}  
}  
}

seems to return the same results. Does anyone know if there is a  
performance impact on choosing one over the other?
