Hi , We have indexed 1000+ source files using elastic search . While searching any code/string we can get proper result . _But we have 2 major problem ._ 1 ) Code Snippet/ fragments - In result page will be shown only based on character instead of lines ( result page would be fixed line numbers like 5 line for every snippet ) 2 ) We cant get line numbers - we have added line number while indexing source file - but we cant get it . Is it possible to fix this issue using elastic search ? Please let us know your suggestion .

About line numbers, you could either do it on a client level or index lines if you want to retrieve lines. Just like indexing a book. If you need to give as a result a page (think page number), it means that you need to index pages not the book! My 2 cents. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 3 juin 2014 à 08:43, Sivakumar [85siva@gmail.com](mailto:85siva@gmail.com) a écrit : Hi , We have indexed 1000+ source files using elastic search .
