Hi Everyone !
First of all, I would like to thanks Elastic's team for their work.
I already checked other topics before create a new one but I didn't find anything.
This [Topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/matching-by-array-elements/39530) is the closest than my problem but the solution seems to be Inappropriate.
My issue is :
In my documents, I have a field which is an array of integers.
my\_field = [2,3,6]
I would like to get all the documents which have for exemple, the element 2 in its array.
I already tried several solutions as bool =\> must or bool =\> script =\> script but none of them was successfull.
Have you any idea ?
Thank you.

I think that a term query will work.
