Search:

> ```
> GET logstash-duplicates-2016.01/_search
> {
> "size": 0,
> "aggs": {
> "duplicateNames2": {
> "terms": {
> "field": "MD5checksum.raw",
> "size": 750,
> "min_doc_count": 2,
> "order": {
> "name": "desc"
> }
> },
> "aggs": {
> "name": {
> "sum": {
> "field": "Size"
>

Not directly, no. You'll have to re-create the query using the agg builder in Visualize - that is, the interface on the left side there.

Things like `min_doc_count` we don't offer controls for in the interface, but if you click the _Advanced_ link at the bottom, it will expose a JSON input, which you can use to add that to the terms agg, like `{ "min_doc_count": 2 }`

To see that you have a match, click the green play button at the top to run the aggregation, and consult the spy panel below the visualization. Opening it will expose a _Request_ area, which will allow you to see the exact request that was made to Elasticsearch.

_NOTE: You won't see a Debug option if you are running a released build of Kibana_

Alternatively, you could get something close, and then save it. Then, go in to Setting \> Objects \> Visualizations, find the vis you just saved, and edit the _aggs_ section under _visState_. This is sort of a last-ditch effort though, and can lead to you breaking the visualization and putting Kibana into a weird (but recoverable) state...
