Filtering view results in couchdb

Hi,

Is there a way to filter the results of a view? I found a filter mechanism
that can be added to design doc and added as a query parameter for the
_change API.
Is there a similar mechanism for a normal view?

You can use _list functions to filter views. There's nothing
explicitly like _changes filters though.

Hi Suresh,

why not use the view's map function to filter?

I understand that a post-pocessing filter is a different thing, but this
might help already.

Cheers
