Hello,

I want to do search an index with multiple values. I want to also know which search result comes for which searched value. Can I do this in case of terms query.  
e.g.

```auto
GET /_search
{
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "user.id": ["kimchy", "elkbee"],
      "boost": 1.0
    }
  }
}

```

expected output (including for\_searched\_value):

```auto
{
    "took": 1,
    "timed_out": false,
    "_shards": {
        "total": 1,
        "successful": 1,
        "skipped": 0,
        "failed": 0
    },
    "hits": {
        "total": {
            "value": 2,
            "relation": "eq"
        },
        "max_score": 1,
        "hits": [
            {
                "_index": "teachers",
                "_type": "_doc",
                "_id": "f3822b08-27c4-485a-adce-cec2af1b19b4",
                "_score": 1,
                "_source": {
                    "user": {
                        "id": "kimchy"
                    },
                    "subject": "English"
                },
                "for_searched_value": "kimchy"
            },
            {
                "_index": "teachers",
                "_type": "_doc",
                "_id": "f3822b08-27c4-485a-adce-cec2af1b19b4",
                "_score": 1,
                "_source": {
                    "user": {
                        "id": "kimchy"
                    },
                    "subject": "Physics"
                },
                "for_searched_value": "kimchy"
            },
            {
                "_index": "teachers",
                "_type": "_doc",
                "_id": "f3822b08-27c4-485a-adce-cec2af1b19b4",
                "_score": 1,
                "_source": {
                    "user": {
                        "id": "elkbee"
                    },
                    "subject": "Math"
                },
                "for_searched_value": "elkbee"
            }
            
        ]
    }
}

```

Is there any way to know similar information like matched value for every search hit from code. I am using flask for my application.
