Hi,
Is it possible to get elasticsearch to return the number of terms matched
per result in a query. I know these are evaluated as they make up the score
but there doesn't seem to be a way to get a simple count?
For example with :query =\> {:in =\> {:user\_ids =\> [user\_ids...],
:minimum\_should\_match =\> 1}}
I would like to know how many user\_ids were matched.
Thanks,
Dan
