The count in aggregation is different than the documents matching on the aggregated value. Is there any correct way to get exact count of aggregation values.  
Example:

```auto
"aggregations" : {
    "profiles" : {
      "doc_count" : 58457141,
      "ctc" : {
        "doc_count" : 684,
        "filtered_aggs" : {
          "buckets" : [
            {
              "key" : "8633.088-17266.176",
              "from" : 8633.088,
              "to" : 17266.176,
              "doc_count" : 684,
              "users_count" : {
                "doc_count" : 651
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }

```

so in this bucket `"8633.088-17266.176"` there are 651 docs, but when I actually filter out the docs on this range, number of results appers to be less.
