TLDR Gabe asked about specifying filters in Typesense's curation feature. Jason confirmed its current limitations, proposed the use of pinned_hits as a workaround, and asked for a Github feature request.

12:05 AMI'm wondering if this is possible to achieve to specify filters for a Curation:
when
query=* with no filters exclude specific records, but when any filters (or specific filters) are applied no longer exclude those records.From the docs it looks like the curation is based solely on the query & there is no way to specify filters under which to apply the exclusion.

pinned_hits search parameter. So when you apply a filter_by, you can also add a pinned_hits parameter to specify which records to pin (essentially curate).
