Hello and good day!

Someone asked this question but no one seems answered or tried to suggest techniques: [Count the Number of words in the field Elastic search 6.2](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/count-the-number-of-words-in-the-field-elastic-search-6-2/121373)

Now, I'm trying to produce a report from Elasticsearch to count the number of **WORDS / TOKENS** from a specific field called **content**

Is there a proper `aggregation` for this?

For example, I have this query:

```
GET web/_search
{
  "query":{
     "bool":{
        "must":[
           {
              "query_string":{
                 "fields":[
                    "title",
                    "content"
                 ],
                 "query":"((\"Mayor Isko\") AND (\"Isko Moreno\") AND (\"Manila\" OR \"Divisoria\")) OR ((\"Mayor Isko Moreno\" OR \"Mayor Vico Sotto\") AND (\"Manila\" OR \"Pasig\"))"
              }
           },
           {
              "range":{
                 "pub_date":{
                    "from":1569456000,
                    "to":1570060800
                 }
              }
           }
        ]
     }
  }
}

```

And for example, this query produced **23 DOCUMENTS** , I want to make a response telling me how **MANY** words does those 23 documents contain?
