Would anybody suggest to get aggregation response as below, bucket aggregation values should be word wise rather than phrase.

Ex dataset on which aggregation query is being run:

{"skill": "3+ years of experience on java"}  
{"skill": "3+ years of experience on java"}  
{"skill": "java"}

Current response:  
{  
"took": 10,  
"timed\_out": false,  
"\_shards": {  
"total": 3,  
"successful": 3,  
"failed": 0  
},  
"hits": {  
"total": 6098,  
"max\_score": 0,  
"hits": []  
},  
"aggregations": {  
"aggs": {  
"doc\_count\_error\_upper\_bound": 0,  
"sum\_other\_doc\_count": 0,  
"buckets": [  
{  
"key": "3+ years of experience on java",  
"doc\_count": 2  
},  
{  
"key": "java",  
"doc\_count": 1  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

Expecting response :

{  
"took": 10,  
"timed\_out": false,  
"\_shards": {  
"total": 3,  
"successful": 3,  
"failed": 0  
},  
"hits": {  
"total": 6098,  
"max\_score": 0,  
"hits": []  
},  
"aggregations": {  
"aggs": {  
"doc\_count\_error\_upper\_bound": 0,  
"sum\_other\_doc\_count": 0,  
"buckets": [  
{  
"key": "java",  
"doc\_count": 3  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

"skill" needs to be an analyzed field for this to work at the word level.
