Good day,  
I have a Index with huge products list.  
I want to search only specific part of the Index, is there any way to do it ?  
For example, i have client A which uses 100 K products only for them i don't  
want to search entire index.  
Any help in this regard is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Add a filter on clientA. It will be super efficient

Are you sure you absolutely need parent/ child for your use case?
