Can I do a rangeFilter on \_timestamp field? the field is currently configured: ""\_timestamp" : { "enabled" : true , "store" : "yes" },". Does it need to be indexed? For me, it seems to be filtering nothing. -- ---

Yes, you should be able to do range query on it (and it doesn't need to be stored). Can you gist a curl recreation that shows that it does not work for you?
