Hey @da02d4d6e86247f19849, the `description.keyword` field is an unanalyzed string field of type [keyword](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/keyword.html), if you're using the default dynamic mappings then it's configured to ignore text that is over 256 characters, which is why you aren't able to do a terms aggregation on it.

If you use `description` then it's going to be an analyzed [text](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/text.html) field which is already "split" by words using the [standard analyzer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/analysis-standard-analyzer.html).

Also, if you wish to do terms aggregations on the analyzed field's terms, you'll want to enable [fielddata](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/fielddata.html).
