Hi,
I am indexing books and some long web pages in ElasticSearch. My ElasticSearch documents have a field 'content' that is extremely long with multiple occurrences of my search terms. Using the highlight tool of Elastic, is it possible to show the multiple occurences of a match within the same document?
Ex: seeing the phrase: "Quick brown fox" on pages 1,13,53, 102 of the same document, ES will return snippets of all those occurences?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

For book-size texts I'd be tempted to break it into multiple elasticsearch documents and search those.
They can be grouped back into books in various ways at query-time but it will certainly help with highlighting to have smaller docs.
