Not Queryedit

Deprecated in 2.1.0.
Use the bool
query with must_not
clause instead.
A query that filters out matched documents using a query. For example:
{ "bool" : { "must" : { "term" : { "name.first" : "shay" } }, "filter" : { "not" : { "range" : { "postDate" : { "from" : "2010-03-01", "to" : "2010-04-01" } } } } } }
Or, in a longer form with a filter
element:
{ "bool" : { "must" : { "term" : { "name.first" : "shay" } }, "filter" : { "not" : { "filter" : { "range" : { "postDate" : { "from" : "2010-03-01", "to" : "2010-04-01" } } } } } } }
