Greetings,

I have a collection of documents in elastic search index. There is field  
called ABSTRACT\_TEXT which has some text data. I want to search  
this(ABSTRACT\_TEXT) field and count the number of occurrences of the search  
term, say "elastic" in each of the document.

Example: If below is the set of documents:

D1: Elastic is good

D2: Elastic is bad

D3: Elastic is good, but you should use elastic carefully.

If I search for the term "elastic", I want the results to be:

D1: 1

D2: 1

D3: 2

I tried the below query but it returns the count across all documents. I  
need the count per document.

Please help.
