I want to enable both numberic and full-text search for a field.

I need the two ways to search the field for different scenarios.

How can I index the field?

You can always make use of fields for such use cases. Lets say the field name is field1. Below is how you can define it for indexing it in different ways:

   "field1": {
      "type": "integer",
      "fields": {
        "textval": {
          "type": "text"
        },
        "keyword": {
          "type": "keyword"
        }
      }
    }

Refer this for understanding more on fields.

Thanks Nishant! What if I want to add another type "keyword" for aggregation? That is, it should have different types: integer, text, and keyword. I searched through multi-fields examples in ES but can only find at most 2 types.
