Does anyone know of a way to get elasticsearch to return a word count?

It looks like my user interface returns a word count and it was sneakily
implemented by faulting text in from the database and running
str_word_count on it. I'd rather have elasticsearch calculate the number
of words in my text so I don't have to load to show search results. Does
anyone know a good way to do that? I assume it'd make more sense to store
the word count on index into another field and just fetch it.

can you go a bit more into detail here? are you asking for the frequency of
a word across the entire index or within a document? How do you need to
select words?

Just the number of terms in some field in the document. It is is a field I both query and highlight. I'd be happy with something approximate. I saw today I might be able to do a bit of math on the field norm to get it.

the field norm might help but it's hard to access and it's a 8bit float
value that includes the boosts so it might be quite lossy? What you could
do in master is using a TermVector and consume the field in the client
since it contains all terms for a field in a document.
