You need to change your mapping if you want to run aggs or sorts. ---

hi @manue, You can enable fielddata on an existing `text` field using the [PUT mapping API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/fielddata.html) as follows: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/fielddata.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/fielddata.html) ---

Thank you! This would be the command to solve my problem? (I use the terminal to interact with Elasticsearch) curl -XPUT "localhost:7900/\*/\_settings" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "mappings" : { "properties": { "my\_field": { "type": "text", "fielddata": true } } }}' ---

Some comments: - You can't change an existing field - `7900` port is a port I've never seen in Elasticsearch. Did you change the default 9200 port? ---

Yes I change the port, it is ok? So, What would be the command that I have to use? ---

Excuse me again, I'm new to Elasticsearch and I do not understand how to interact with Elasticsearch using the console. Could you help me with the orders that I have to use to solve my problem? Thank you very much for your help ---

So I'm updating a bit my answer: 1. Delete the index (this will remove all your data). See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-delete-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-delete-index.html) 2. Create the index with the right mapping. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-create-index.html#mappings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-create-index.html#mappings) 3. Reindex your data. I can't help for this as it depends on where the data is coming from. ---

How can I know the name of my index that I have to do this what you tell me? ---

I don't know what indices you have created but apparently from the logs `magento2_product_1` could be a good candidate. ---
