Routing and segmentation

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a little bit of a grasp on routing, but I do have one specific
question. Can a routing value be used to segment data? For instance, if I
specify in my query a routing value of "Foo", does that guarantee that I
will only get documents that were indexed with a routing value of "Foo", or
does it only guarantee that I hit a specific shard?

Thanks!

I guess maybe I didn't look hard enough before I posted:

I guess I need to filter/query and route...
