I do have the following use case: I want to search for documents with a query (e.g. a time range), but only for new documents, meaning I only want to return documents where \_version is 1. Is there an elegant way to do this (\_version is not searchable, I think) or do I have to return all documents and check version afterwards? Thanks!
