Dear All,

I have document with value as string array like  
{  
...  
Tags:{"a","b","c","d"}  
...  
}  
Note: Tags is not\_analyzed.

Query: Get me total documents that has tag a and b, trend on it for a week. It translates to  
day, Tag, Count where Tag can take values only a and b

day1, a,3  
day2, a,4  
day1,b,2  
day2,b,6.....

But when I do aggregation and also do filters on agg, it is list all a-d. I just need only a, b in output and not all.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey,

the terms agg supports [filtering values](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#_filtering_values_2) - would that help here?
