=== Named Queries

Each filter and query can accept a `_name` in its top level definition.

GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "bool" : {
            "should" : [
                {"match" : { "name.first" : {"query" : "shay", "_name" : "first"} }},
                {"match" : { "name.last" : {"query" : "banon", "_name" : "last"} }}
            ],
            "filter" : {
                "terms" : {
                    "name.last" : ["banon", "kimchy"],
                    "_name" : "test"

// CONSOLE

The search response will include for each hit the `matched_queries` it matched on. The tagging of queries and filters
only make sense for the `bool` query.
