==== From / Size

Pagination of results can be done by using the `from` and `size`
parameters. The `from` parameter defines the offset from the first
result you want to fetch. The `size` parameter allows you to configure
the maximum amount of hits to be returned.

Though `from` and `size` can be set as request parameters, they can also
be set within the search body. `from` defaults to `0`, and `size`
defaults to `10`.

--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
    "from" : 0, "size" : 10,
    "query" : {
        "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
    }
}

Note that `from` + `size` can not be more than the `index.max_result_window`
index setting which defaults to 10,000. See the <<request-body-search-scroll,Scroll>> or <<request-body-search-search-after,Search After>>
API for more efficient ways to do deep scrolling.
