Is there a way of specifying the scope of an aggregation (if there is I cant seem to find it)? I want to achieve the equivalent of a Facet "global" : true. Do I need to use facets instead of aggregations in this case? I am just doing term aggregations - to give the user a dropdown list to filter by, say, commodity - and provide choices like: Aluminium (0) Copper (110) Gold (6) Lead (243) Zinc (0) I want to do a global aggregation to get all the possible terms (ie all possible filter values). I want to do a contextual (based on current user query) term aggregation to get the counts. How do I do this with Aggregations?

You can do this by running a `global` aggregation: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
