I mean the (x, y) coordinates of the word on the page.

I expect to process the image after retrieval. We do plan on storing the (x, y) coordinates of the words in a database - I suspected that it would be too expensive to store them in Solr. I guess I'm still confused about how to use Solr to index the document, but then retrieve the (x, y) coordinates of the search term from the database. Is this possible? If it can, can you give an example how this can be done? Thank you!
