I suggest simply running a fresh query with the additional new
constraints. That way you don't have to worry about maintaining state
in your search app, with all the attendant problems of tracking users,
timing out caches and managing memory, etc.
QueryFilter is intended more for things like adding on a constraint of
"category => 'books'" -- where the query is known and persistent.
It's always nice to see APIs abused in unexpected ways, though. :)
