I have a usecase where I need to return all top level fields and filtered results from the nested objects. Consider the example:

```auto
{
    "jobID": 940230,
    "jobTitle": "front-end",
    "jobDetails": [
        { "hours": "regular", "shifts": "day" },
        { "hours": "parttime", "shifts": "day" }
    ]
}

```

Here, I would like to run the search on "jobDetails" object

Scenario 1. Query for "hours" : "regular" under jobDetails

Expected response:

```auto
{
    "jobID": 940230,
    "jobTitle": "front-end",
    "jobDetails": [
        { "hours": "regular", "shifts": "day" }
    ]
}

```

Scenario 2: Query for "hours": "weekends" under jobDetails:

Expected response:

```auto
{
    "jobID": 940230,
    "jobTitle": "front-end",
    "jobDetails": []
}

```

I have spent a lot of time figuring this out but couldn't find any solution. Any help will be appreciated
