Hi,  
I'm trying to get the number of matches from a search as a column in the Data Table (Visualization). For example, I have the following

title : Good title  
content : The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy **dog** while the **dog** is eating.

And If I query content:(dog), I would like to have a column in my table that shows for each item, how many matches there are. In this case, that would give me something like:  
Title | Count | **Matches**  
Good title | 1 | **2**

Is that possible?

Thank you  
Alex

That is not possible. Each row in the data table visualization is showing the aggregated results for a bucket. The row does not have knowledge about any one particular document.

Actually, I just found about the \_score property. Is it possible to make a bucket or sub-bucket using that property? By that, I mean visualiize the \_score in the Data table. But the property doesn't seem to be present when I create the visualization.
