Hi,

I am stuck on indexing array of strings.

i have a field "tags" with array of strings as you can see on the following picture:

 ![09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/d/ad075af8016e2a2864de4674516a2e45fa20f785.png)

But after indexing it, i can't filter for specific values within the array.

For example if i want to create a simple pie chart to see the proportion of each tag accross the field i can't, it considers each array of string as a single value.

here is what i get :

 ![41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/6/96132ee27d3cd06cf42e47e919851dfc7327ff95.png)

i tried multiple way to index this field but i can't figure how to do it properly. In order to be able to filter for only one value of my array and not all the array.

I hope i'm clear.  
I'm using Python API to index my doc.

Here is my mapping

> ```
> "mappings": {
> "properties": {
> "societe": { "type": "keyword" , "null_value" : "NA"},
> "adresse": { "type": "keyword" , "null_value" : "NA"},
> "email": { "type": "keyword" , "null_value" : "NA"},
> "tel": { "type": "keyword" , "null_value" : "NA"},
> "site": { "type": "keyword" , "null_value" : "NA"},
> "tags": { "type": "text" },
> "description": { "type": "text" },
> "typesociete": { "type": "keyword" , "null_value" : "NA"},
> "geoloc": { "type": "geo_point" },
> "CP": { "type": "keyword" , "null_value" : "NA"},
> "num_dep": { "type": "integer" },
> "Occitanie": { "type": "boolean" }
> }
> }
>
