Hi Elasticsearch Team.
We are executing search operation using keywords in document content.
Search results returned list of documents matching the keywords in the
content.
Is it possible to get the count of how many keyword have appeared in a document?
for example if text search is Java then all the documents which are having
Java as text are returned. Also, we can get the count of Java in each document.
That will be great!
Thanks
