Hi all,

Got a question. Is it possible to use multi terms in searching for duplicates?

I tried:

```
logs/_search?pretty=true' -d '{
  "size": 0,
  "aggs": {
    "duplicateCount": {
      "terms": {
      "field": "recipient",
      "field": "submission_time",
      "field": "delivery_time",
      "field": "sender",
      "field": "path",
        "min_doc_count": 2
      },
      "aggs": {
        "duplicateDocuments": {
          "top_hits": {}
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'

```

It looks like it shows hits for each filed separately. I also tried an array, but got an error that array is not supported in "terms".

Any tips? Is it possible?  
I tried to make sure that I have all the data and I unknowingly created some duplicates 🙂

Thank you and have a nice day.
