Hi guys,

I'd like to create a multi\_match query with filter but my filter is not working. I'm trying to apply the filter on a field which is not indexed/analyzed:

POST [http://localhost:9200/myindex/\_search](http://localhost:9200/myindex/_search)  
{ "query" :  
{  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"multi\_match": {  
"query": "MYTERM",  
"type": "most\_fields",  
"fields": ["field1", "field2", "field3"]  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"range" : {  
"notindexedfield" : {  
"gte" : 1  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

why this not working? It returns with 0 hits but I **know** that there must be match.
