Hi.

I have very large documents, and is not efficient to retrieve the document vector of a document.

How can i search the offset and position of a term of a document in Elasticsearch?

thanks.

Hi,

You already asked the same question two days ago, maybe you missed the answer? [Start and end offset of a token in elasticsearch](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/start-and-end-offset-of-a-token-in-elasticsearch/470)

Can we filter the termvector based on a term value?

Hi,  
Yes, you can filter the termVector based on a term. I have been using this and works fine for me.

var result = \_client.Termvector(\_indexName, typeName, id, requestBody);  
dynamic response = result.Response;  
dynamic termVector = response.term\_vectors;  
dynamic tokens = termVector.Content.terms["" + query + ""].tokens;

Thanks,  
Archana
