=== 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`.
