<Query>
    <Filter>
        <AncestorCriterion>/81/82/</AncestorCriterion>
    </Filter>
</Query>

"Query": {
    "Filter": {
        "AncestorCriterion": "/81/82/"
    }
}

Use case

You can use the Ancestor Search Criterion to create a list of breadcrumbs leading to a location, because it matches every ancestor of that location, including the location itself.
