Here's the gist of my data scheme: [https://gist.github.com/rauanmaemirov/7b3af9106ccc2963d2a5](https://gist.github.com/rauanmaemirov/7b3af9106ccc2963d2a5) There are a collection of entities as parents and a collection of events as child documents. What I need to do is search documents by _the latest event of a particular type._ If you run that script on localhost (test index), you could see that search request returns all 4 test entities, even though latest event for doc 2 doesn't match with the query terms. I need a way to filter by the latest events and then apply query terms, is it possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
