I am reading this post about not having maximum accuracy on aggregation  
results on terms, when adding the "size"  
parameter: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#\_document\_counts\_are\_approximate](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#_document_counts_are_approximate)  
Does this lack of accuracy happen when you also have a query? like:  
{  
query:{....}  
aggs{....}  
}  
Thanks,  
Roxana

Yes, this issue also exists if you specify a query.
