Hello and good day ElasticSearch Team and Developers!

This is in relation with my StackOverflow post: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56932330/elasticsearch-count-number-of-keyword-occurences-in-a-document](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56932330/elasticsearch-count-number-of-keyword-occurences-in-a-document)

I'm searching through my index named `web` with a query\_string query as:

```
[
    "query_string" => [
        "default_field" => $content,
        "query" => $keywords
    ]
]

```

Where as the `$keywords` variable contains:

```
("MCU" OR "Marvel" OR "Spiderman")

```

Meaning, I'm looking for documents throughout my Index that has those `$keywords` mentioned.

I'm satisfied with the fetched/retrieved documents, however, my dilemma is that I need to **COUNT THE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCE** those `$keywords` appeared per document.

Let's say I have a document with an ID of #17. I want to determine how many times either **MCU** or **Marvel** or **Spiderman** appeared in that document's `content` field

Any chances for this to work on Elasticsearch?

I'm using:  
Elasticsearch: v7.2  
Application: Laravel v5.7

Thank you very much!
