Is there some way to configure the number of results that's returned by using completion suggestion? I looked at [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-completion.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-completion.html) and [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/completion-suggest/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/completion-suggest/) but there doesn't seem to be anything about configuring the result set size. The \_suggest REST endpoint doesn't take a "size" parameter and if I use the \_search endpoint, the size parameter doesn't affect the suggest results. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, the completion suggester accepts a 'size' parameter, see the samples at > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Can you maybe put your query online as a gist, so we can check out, what is wrong? --Alex On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 4:12 AM, Johny Lam [johny.lam@gmail.com](mailto:johny.lam@gmail.com) wrote: > Is there some way to configure the number of results that's returned by > using completion suggestion? > > I looked at > > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-completion.html) > > and > > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/completion-suggest/) > > but there doesn't seem to be anything about configuring the result set > size. > > The \_suggest REST endpoint doesn't take a "size" parameter and if I use > the \_search endpoint, the size parameter doesn't affect the suggest results. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks, I apparently missed that.
