Hello,

I want to paginate my search results and trying to use from-size ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/search-request-from-size.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/search-request-from-size.html)) feature.

When I send a request from console, I got right answer from my elasticsearch.  
`curl -XGET "localhost:9200/sampleindex/_search?pretty" -d '{"from":2,"size":1,"query":{"match_all":{}}}'`

But if I use java api like below it seems that "from" part does not work because it returns first result for that query.  
`searchBuilder = searchBuilder.setFrom(2).setSize(1);`

Could you help me how can I solve this?

Thanks in advance.

It should be consistent. A full reproduction example could be useful.

That's my fault, I realized that I've set both "scroll" and "from-size" to same search builder in java and that breaks my request. Thanks for your attention.
