I would just avoid LucyX::Search::Filter in a Remote context:
http://incubator.apache.org/lucy/docs/perl/LucyX/Search/Filter.html#BUGS
Filters do not cache when used in a search cluster with LucyX::Remote's
SearchServer and SearchClient.
(It doesn't cache because Filter uses a BitVector internally to cache its
result set, and a result set with one bit per indexed document is typically
too big to serialize and send over a network connection.)

Probably something like this:
my $cluster_searcher = LucyX::Remote::ClusterSearcher->new(
schema => $schema,
shards => \@shards,
);
my $query_parser = Lucy::Search::QueryParser->new(
schema => $schema,
fields => [qw( title content )],
);
...
my $user_query = $query_parser->parse($user_query_string);
my $filter = Lucy::Search::TermQuery->new(field => 'foo', term => '1');
my $and_query = Lucy::Search::ANDQuery->new(
children => [$user_query, $filter],
);
my $weighted_query = $query->make_compiler(searcher => $cluster_searcher);
my $hits = $cluster_searcher->hits(query => $weighted_query);
For more on working with Queries, see the QueryObjects tutorial chapter:

Nope. Information which is stored but not indexed is not searchable. Lucy is
not a traditional database, and it does not provide out-of-the-box support for
"full table scans" of stored data -- it only knows how to search indexed data.
