Hello,
in the term aggregation it is possible to use the "include" to filter values with a regex.
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#\_filtering\_values\_4](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#_filtering_values_4)
```
{
"from": 0,
"size": 10,
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"aggs": {
"title": {
"terms": {
"field": "title",
"include": "t.*"
}
}
}
}
```
Is there a possibility to filter the values by a script instead of a regex?

If you really need script, you could use script query to filter docs, then use terms aggregation to aggregate on filtered docs.
