Is there any way to set the mininum term length for aggregations? I mean, I need aggregations of words with a minimum length of 3 characters for example, also is there any wait to have an skip word list?

If you have this requirement, I suspect that the reason is that you are indexing some free text and would like to exclude meaningless terms from the analysis? If yes then the best way to solve this issue would be to use a `length` token filter at indexing time in order to not index these terms at all: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
