Can't I do a query-time metadata filter?

Can't I do a query-time metadata filter?

Let's say I indexed 5 documents each from different authors. The node's metadata has the author on it. The docs seem to indicate I can only add a metadata filter to the retriever then instantiate the query_engine. That means I'm constantly having to re-create the engine if the metadata over which I'm querying changes, like searching for author1 in query1 then author2 in query2.

Other frameworks allow me to filter at query time.

... or is there a better way to store the docs? I clearly missed a concept somewhere.
Creating the query engine is a no-op, so I think it's fine to recreate?
Thanks for quick response.

It still smells wrong, though. @Logan M what's the best way to segregate a collection like that?
Should I have stored them in a different "index' with different index_id or something? I never saw something like that in the docs.
I don't want to create separate tables. I should be able to key off one.
