 *API*
 
 The standard <<painless-api-reference, Painless API>> is available.
+
+
+*Example*
+
+To run this example, first follow the steps in
+<<painless-context-examples, context examples>>.
+
+You can then use these two example scripts to compute custom information
+for each search hit and output it to two new fields.
+
+The first script gets the doc value for the `datetime` field and calls
+the `getDayOfWeek` function to determine the corresponding day of the week.
+
+[source,Painless]
+----
+doc['datetime'].value.getDayOfWeek();
+----
+
+The second script calculates the number of actors. Actors' names are stored
+as a text array in the `actors` field.
+
+[source,Painless]
+----
+params['_source']['actors'].length;                        <1>
+----
+
+<1> By default, doc values are not available for text fields. However,
+    you can still calculate the number of actors by extracting actors
+    from `_source`. Note that `params['_source']['actors']` is a list.
+
+
+Submit the following request:
+
+[source,js]
+----
+GET seats/_search
+{
+    "query" : {
+        "match_all": {}
+    },
+    "script_fields" : {
+        "day-of-week" : {
