I do not think so in the way you specified. Elasticsearch does processing when it indexes documents to allow for future searching. Meaning if you know you're going to be sorting on a field using a filter later on, you will index that particular field without doing any analysis on it.

Since these pre-processed documents are what elasticsearch does its searches over, not raw text (or JSON in your case), I'm pretty sure you're going to have to index your documents in elasticsearch before you can use elasticsearch queries to search them.

Elasticsearch is storage as much as it is a query language.
