I want to display some random words on the screen which are present in the document. I'm using Elasticsearch 7.12.

I don't think there's a way to natively do this, the closest thing is [Random sampler aggregation | Elasticsearch Guide [8.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.2/search-aggregations-random-sampler-aggregation.html), but it's at a whole-document level.

Thank you for responding to my question, Mark. Can we get all the keywords from a document which is indexed? Later on we can use those keywords to perform a search query.

Not keywords, text(according to Elasticsearch). Can we get list of unique text terms available in a document?
