Hi guys,

Wondering if it is possible to get how many times a term has appeared in the entire index? I understand I can get term frequency per doc through term vector, but how can I do it with the entire index.

Have seen some discussion here [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13217849/elasticsearch-return-term-frequency-of-a-single-field](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13217849/elasticsearch-return-term-frequency-of-a-single-field), which is five years ago.

Any update on this issue.

Thanks,  
Cody
