Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to perform filtered searches on IVF_PQ and CAGRA indexes from Rust. Currently the Rust API does not support this, but the underlying C++ implementation supports bitset/bitmap filters.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Directly using C++ apis via FFI (not ideal).
Additional context
I'd be happy to implement this!

Research direction
Start by tracing the Rust APIs for IVF_PQ and CAGRA and comparing them with the underlying C++ bitset/bitmap filtering interfaces. The change is done when filtered searches can be requested from Rust for both index types without requiring direct C++ FFI use.
