Is it possible to restrict the scope of aggregations to JUST the page of data coming back from the query?

Meaning, I want to show aggregation data related ONLY to the query results in the range specified by the query's 'page' and 'size' INSTEAD of relating to ALL of the query's results?

* * *

Kind of complicated but here's the situation:

- I have a parent/child document setup: business (parent) -\> class (child)
- both businesses and classes can be tagged (ie. 'Arts' or 'Science', etc)
- I have a bool should query to return businesses that are either (tagged with 'Arts') or (have currently running classes tagged with 'Arts')

The above works fine. I use 'inner\_hits' on the 'has\_child' query to discover the number of 'Arts' classes each business returned has.

**Keeping the same results as the above produces** , I now want to 'annotate' the results to discover how many currently running classes REGARDLESS of what the classes are tagged as. ie. I want the results to include only those businesses tagged with 'Arts' or with classes tagged as 'Arts', but I also want to know if they have any other classes running that might NOT be tagged with 'Arts'. A bool would suffice, but a count would be best.

I was thinking aggregations might help me solve this, but I don't think I can restrict the aggregations to the paginated result set - and if so, I'm not sure it would be efficient. I appreciate any feedback! Thanks.
