The docs <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/common-terms.html> mention that "One of the benefits of cutoff_frequency is that you get domain-specific stopwords for free."
It seems like the index-per-user approach is required here in order to make the term frequencies accurate. If you used a shared index <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/shared-index.html> or even faked an index per user <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/faking-it.html>, your TF counts for some field would reflect the index as a whole (aggregated across the counts for each shard in that index), not just for that user. If you tended to just query the documents for one user at a time using some filter field, the common terms query would probably not return the results you are expecting.
