I am using invenio\_search to search data from elasticsearch. I am able to query the elasticsearch and the results shows hits greater than 500. But receiving only 10 records. Is there any way to change the configuration so that to get entire records from elasticsearch.

By default Elastic returns 10 documents! if you want to increase the number of documents, add the `size` parameter in your query.

Thanks for the suggestion. I faced this issue in invenio search and I found the solution and is given below.

search = RecordsSearch()  
search = search.query(QueryString(query='mi'))  
count = search.count()  
results = search[0:count].execute().to\_dict()
