Hi,

I am trying to filter moreLikeThis results by adding additional query - but  
it seems to ignore it at all.

I tried to run my ignoreQuery separately and it works fine, but how to make  
it work with moreLikeThis? Please help me.

$ignoreQuery = $this-\>IgnoreCategoryQuery('movies')

$this-\>resultsSet = $this-\>index-\>moreLikeThis(new \Elastica\Document($id),  
array\_merge($this-\>mlt\_fields, array('search\_size' =\> $this-\>size,  
'search\_from' =\> $this-\>from, 'min\_doc\_freq' =\> 2, 'min\_term\_freq' =\> 1,  
'min\_word\_length' =\> 3)), $ignoreQuery);

My IgnoreCategory function:

public function IgnoreCategoryQuery($category = 'main')  
{  
$categoriesTermQuery = new \Elastica\Query\Term();  
$categoriesTermQuery-\>setTerm('categories', $category);  
$categoriesBoolQuery = new \Elastica\Query\Bool();  
$categoriesBoolQuery-\>addMustNot($categoriesTermQuery);  
return $categoriesBoolQuery;  
}
