This question is a continuation of the following question : [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filter-based-on-the-doc-count-with-aggregations/62677](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filter-based-on-the-doc-count-with-aggregations/62677)

When building aggregations in Kibana , I get the following output :

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/0/0b23fb8adf6b591afe39ae1cc9963434ae174b32.png)

My question is , how can I **filter by count**?

For example : Build a visualization where `"doc_count": 4`

Or , how can I run this specific query ?

```
GET /cars/transactions/_search
{

   "size": 0,
   "aggs": {
      "popular_colors": {
         "terms": {
            "field": "color"
         },
         "aggs": {
            "my_filter": {
               "bucket_selector": {
                  "buckets_path": {
                     "the_doc_count": "_count"
                  },
                  "script": "the_doc_count == 4"
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
```

That query at the end of your post uses a pipeline aggregation, which isn't yet supported in Kibana.

Can you filter the doc\_count in Kibana with any other method?
