If I search for "lotke" I am told that the name is mentioned on page 28 of 30 of a particular filing. But when I click on the link, I'm not reminded of that information. This then gets confusing. (We saw this at Gyepi's demo when he searched for "mother".)

What's tricky from the UI design perspective, though, is that a word might be in a document multiple times. So that might be more than a single line of code to add....

Yes, this was a problem. However, I have a new update that displays the
document metadata (including page count) above each page. There's also a

This is true, but I think it has to work that way, given that a page is the
unit of search results. I have been thinking that it may be useful to add a
flag to make search results return documents instead of pages. Perhaps after
