Waldemar Kłaczyński ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HSEARCH-3862 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3862?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMDF... ) Re: It is not possible to define "@FullTextFilterDef" filters. ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3862?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMDF... ) I think that it would be easy to open such functionality is building a filter factory as a fragment of a predicate. public static class TestFilterFactory implements FilterFactory { @Override public SearchPredicate create(FilterFactoryContext ctx) { SearchPredicate filter = ctx.predicate() .match().field( "fieldName" ) .matching( ctx.param( "match" ) ) .toPredicate(); return filter; } } Such a filter could be, like in the previous version, declared using annotations. @FullTextFilter(name= "test_filter" , factory = @FilterFactoryRef(type = TestFilterFactory.class)) public class Assortment implements Serializable { .... Later, you could use such a filter when creating a query. scope.query() .where( f -> { return f.bool() .filter( f.def( "match_fieldName" ).param( "match" , true ) ); }).toQuery() I think that this functionality would be very simple to implement in the current code.
