HI,

We have below mentioned Elasticsearch templates for a number of different string fields.

```
          "mapping" : {
            "doc_values" : false,
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : {
                "ignore_above" : 256,
                "type" : "keyword",
                "doc_values" : true
              }
            },
            "index" : false,
            "store" : false,
            "type" : "keyword"
          }

```

Now on Kibana, the internal **keyword** fields which is searchable and aggregatable are not listed on the Discover page on the left hand side where available fields are listed. In fact the top level field is listed over there. If a user uses the **Filter for Value** option on that field, he gets nothing returned, which is because those fields aren't searchable and aggregatable. Infact, he should be only seeing the internal keyword fields there. Can someone help me here in this regard?
