I'm trying to to filter results from this range query.

curl -X GET 'logmon:9200/\_search?pretty=true' -d '  
{  
"size" :100000 ,  
"fields" : ["@message"],  
"query" : {  
"range" : {  
"@timestamp" : {  
"from" : "2013-10-16T00:00:00.0000",  
"to" : "2013-10-31T00:00:00.0000"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"term" : {  
"@message" : "drop"  
}  
}'

This yields no different results than the query below, but I know there are  
three @messages with the term "drop" in it within this time frame.

curl -X GET 'logmon:9200/\_search?pretty=true' -d '  
{  
"size" :100000 ,  
"fields" : ["@message"],  
"query" : {  
"range" : {  
"@timestamp" : {  
"from" : "2013-10-16T00:00:00.0000",  
"to" : "2013-10-31T00:00:00.0000"  
}  
}  
}  
}'

Am I using the filter incorrectly?

When I use this search, I get the three @messages. Essentially I'm trying  
to add the time range to this search.

curl -X GET 'logmon:9200/\_search?pretty=true' -d '  
{  
"size" :100000 ,  
"fields" : ["@message"],  
"query" : {  
"term" : {  
"@message" : "drop"  
}  
}  
}'

Thank you.
