We have a query which returns a large number of results, sorted alphabetically and we're using a pagination to iterate through these pages.  
I wonder: can we use aggregations to get the page, containing the element with the largest score?

Just for example, we have 10 results of query (match: "Foo") in 4 pages, sorted alphabetically:

1. A Foo | (score 1)
2. B Foo | (score 1)
3. C Foo | (score 1)

* * *

1. D Foo | (score 1)
2. E Foo | (score 1)
3. Foo | (score 2)

* * *

1. G Foo | (score 1)
2. H Foo | (score 1)
3. I Foo | (score 1)

* * *

1. Foo | (score 1)

How can we get something like that?

top result:  
| Foo  
top page:  
| Number: 2  
| Content:  
| 4. D Foo | (score 1)  
| 5. E Foo | (score 1)  
| 6. Foo

I am not sure I follow that request. If the `from` and `size` parameters are not doing what you expect them to do, then explain a bit further. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/search-request-body.html#request-body-search-from-size](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/search-request-body.html#request-body-search-from-size)
