Hi,

Is there a way to return the page number where the search term was found? We are trying to build a PPT slide searching capability using cognitive search and want to be able key into the slide where the matching search term is located.

Thanks,

Billy

    @Billy Sun , Thanks for additional clarity.

    The Azure Cognitive Search blob indexer can extract text PPT/PPTX and other document formats, listed in this document. The indexer will open the file and extract text, images, and metadata

    Azure Cognitive Search can’t return page numbers to you by default, you may try these:
    Return hit highlights of the search results and compare the text in the hit highlights with the doc to identify which page(s) in the document the match is on. Also, see Paging results for more info.
