I want to search using a mustache template and set size attribute as 5.

```
    templateInstance = new Template(
                        searchQueryParamInstance.getTemplateName(),
                        ScriptService.ScriptType.INDEXED,
                        MustacheScriptEngineService.NAME,
                        null,
                        searchQueryParamInstance.getParams()
                );

```

My search request builder is

```
SearchRequestBuilder requestBuilder=client.prepareSearch()
                .setIndices((String) entitySearchParams.get(INDEX_NAME))
                .setTypes(entityTypesArray)
                .setFrom(from)
                .setSize(size)
                .setTemplate(templateInstance)
                .setFetchSource(include,exclude);

```

Print of templateInstance

`[script: deterministicAndTemplate, type: id, lang: mustache, params: {param1=attributesInfo.en.xyz.ngram, value1=first second third}]`

print of requestBuilder

```
{
  "from" : 0,
  "size" : 5,
  "_source" : {
    "includes" : [],
    "excludes" : []
  }
}

```

Even though the print of request builder doesn't show anything about the template but the search works fine. But size is not working. I am trying to set the size as 15 but I am always getting 10 results..
