Hello ! i am new to kibana and elastic

My need is to display the most used words in a text type field on several documents.

Is it possible to do this with kibana and elastic? If so, how is this possible? With scripted fields? Or tokenizers?

Please help me

Thank you in advance for your answers

I just remembered and correct the reply.

If you set `fielddata: true` in text field, you can use visualization \> aggregation based \> Tag cloud.

```auto
PUT /test_field_data
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "mytext":{
        "type":"text",
        "fielddata": true
      }
    }
  }
}

POST /test_field_data/_bulk
{"index":{}}
{"mytext": "Visualization of the most frequent words."}
{"index":{}}
{"mytext": "Hello ! i am new to kibana and elastic."}
{"index":{}}
{"mytext": "My need is to display the most used words in a text type field on several documents."}
{"index":{}}
{"mytext": "Is it possible to do this with kibana and elastic? If so, how is this possible? With scripted fields? Or tokenizers?"}
{"index":{}}
{"mytext": "Please help me Thank you in advance for your answers"}

Hello, thank you for your answer, it helps me a lot!

Is it possible to add an analyzer to, for example, remove stopwords (ex: "the") from the graph?

Yes, you can. (I'm not sure why, setting only index default analyzer doesn't work for me.) In ES there are a lot of built-in token filters which you can use.

> **[Specify an analyzer | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/specify-analyzer.html#specify-index-time-analyzer)**

```auto
PUT /test_field_data
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "my_analyzer":{
          "type": "custom",
          "tokenizer": "standard",
          "filter":[
            "lowercase",
            "stop"]
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "mytext":{
        "type":"text",
        "fielddata": true,
        "analyzer": "my_analyzer"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

If there are some problem about performance or memory consumption, the plan below which I deleted could be a next choice.
