Hi,  
I have read through the documentation [Percolate query | Elasticsearch Guide [8.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-percolate-query.html) but could not find a way to get the reason why a percolate query would not match given documents, is it somehow possible to get the filter that did not match? e.g. naming the filter and then getting a list of filter names that do not match.
