As a follow on to this previous post ( [Terms Aggregation on Array of String](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/terms-aggregation-on-array-of-string/195775) ), how can `value_count` be used to get the actual count of repeated values in an array? If a `value_count` is used with a `term` aggregation, then it counts all values and not just the ones that match the specific value for the bucket, so is there a way to apply a filter to account for that?
