I'm trying to perform the following search but the exclude part (line 5) is not working. The goal is to exclude all results where field "geoip.country\_name" contains "United States" (so I want all results from all other countries). Is this possible?

s = Search(using=client, index="filebeat-exchange-\*")   
.query("match", type="iis").extra(size=0)   
.filter("range", \*\* {'@timestamp': {'gte': 'now-61m', 'lt': 'now'}})   
.filter("match", \*\* {"sc-status": "200"})   
.exclude("match", \*\* { "geoip.country\_name": "United States"})
