```
"query": {
        "bool": {
          "filter": [
            {
              "term": {
                "event.type": "fruits"
              }
            },
            {
              "term": {
                "fruit": "or*"
              }
            },
            {
              "range": {
                "@timestamp": {
                  "gte": "{{ctx.trigger.triggered_time}}||-{{ctx.metadata.time_period}}"
                }
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }

```

I would like to filter down to event.type:fruits and then have a watcher for everything starting with or\*.

I'm aware that wildcards don't work on filters, but how could I go about using "terms" and "wildcard" inside the same watcher?

Thank you!
