Hey so I added fielddata to one of my indexes that contained articles in a text field called "text", however when I try to filter to exclude a term, it will exclude all the terms within that text field. Is there a way I can exclude individual words? I'm trying to exclude some stopwords.

I tried the query analyzer but I have only found how to use it with cur queries.

What's the context here? Are you in discover trying to filter documents or are you in a visualization trying to aggregate the counts for certain words?

You should be able to use the query analyzer, what's the problem you're having there?
