Is there a way to get exact location of query match in elastic search documents-CodePudding

I have stored some HTML pages in ElasticSearch, now I want to match an input string with all the strings present in those HTML and get the exact location of the match. So far I have written this query:

 "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": queryText,
      "default_field": "html"
    }
  }

This returns the whole document where the match is found. Is there a way to get the exact location of the match?

You can leverage the Highlight feature, like this:

GET myindex/_search
{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": queryText,
      "default_field": "html"
    }
  },
  "highlight": {
    "fields": {
      "html": {}
    }
  }
}
