Suppose I have content which has title and description. Users can tag content and search content based on tag, title and description. Tag has more weightage. Any inputs on how indexing and retrieval will work given there is content and tags using ES? Has anyone implemented search based on collaborative tagging? Thanks, Nishant ---

I am not sure what collabrative tagging is but then try the following You can maintain 3 fields , title , description and tags. Here tags would be an array. And while searching you can use the terms query for looking into the tags - > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Thanks Vineeth. Here is a quick link: \* [Folksonomy - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy)\*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy) Think of it as the tags on [delicious.com](http://delicious.com). My use case is tag based search and content discovery.

This is exactly what facets do. I hope you could achieve this using facets.
