I have indexed a book contents to Elastic search. Now from the search  
results I need to navigate to the page of the book. I am looking to fetch  
the offset of the search word in the results and map to the offset in the  
book to get the page number.

I have seen similar question in this forum, but they have no solution in  
it. I know it is easy to get it in LUCENE. I tried with TermVector in  
mapping, but it does not give me the offset in the query result.

I have spend good time in elastic search documentation and other forums to  
get the offsets of the highlighted search results, but I didnot get the  
solution.

Any suggestions please.
