I asked this question the other day, but given no response, possibly I wasn't clear enough. I'm trying to understand whether ES supports "Deep Paging" similar to the new deep paging feature added to Lucene (3.5,4.0) and Solr (4.0). From the Solr docs: The following list of parameters are supported by SearchHandler[http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SearchHandler](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SearchHandler) ... pageDoc and pageScore See [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1726](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1726) If you expect to be paging deeply into the results (say beyond page 10, assuming rows=10) and you are sorting by score, you may wish to add the pageDoc and pageScore parameters to your request. These two parameters tell Solr (and Lucene) what the last result (Lucene internal docid and score) of the previous page was, so that when scoring the query for the next set of pages, it can ignore any results that occur higher than that item. To get the Lucene internal doc id, you will need to add [docid] to the &fl list. Example: q=_:_&start=10&pageDoc=5&pageScore=1.345&fl=[docid],score Specifically, this feature is enabled by LUCENE-2215[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2215](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2215)with a new method on TopDocs. Does ES support deep paging? Brett ---

Hi Brett, That sounds like regular paging. Yes, ES supports it: > **[Elastic — The Search AI Company](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with The Elastic Search AI Platform.

Although that I assume will not provide any scoring optimisations? Depending on your use case there is a scan search type and constant\_score query, which may help.
