Searching via querystring parameters with filters/conditions

Is it possible to filter search results using the query string
parameters? For example, I want to search with any document that
matches "John" but only want to retrieve the type "Employee". The
documents have a field called documentType that can be, lets say,
"Employee", "Employer", "Contractor".

This works great : http://localhost:9200/persons/person?q:John

But this doesnt:

http://localhost:9200/persons/person?q:John&documentType:Employee.

This clearly has a code smell to it so I am sure I am doing something
wrong, but wanted to check with this group if this is even possible
without sending a JSON request to the server with filters, etc.

Thanks for the help!

Try something like q:John%20+documentType:Employee

If it doesn't work, replace + by a %xx value

Hi David - It worked - passing it on to my search team where they can
validate my quick check further.

Thanks again!

Nice !

BTW, you can play with metadata : +_type:myestype
You can use also minus symbol : -_type:myestype

Have a look at the Lucene query doc. There's so many very useful other combination.
