HI, Once we Index the documents, search on the index is limited to 10. How can we increase the response limit, or fetch the entire resultset ? Thanks saiyan ---

Default return size is 10. > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Fetching the entire result set is not efficient if you have many documents. The scan search type would be better suited for this task: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Thanks Ivan for your reply. GET [http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/\_search?q=user:ES&size=2](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search?q=user:ES&size=2) is working fine, but if the same query when given in request body(as below) shows 10 results, GET [http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/\_search](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search) { "from" : 0, "size" : 2, "query" : { "term" : { "user" : "ES" } } } The same has been tried with search\_type options, guess the size parameter is not being taken from request body.

I use the Java API, so I am not too familiar with the REST syntax. When in doubt, look at the code on github to find out what parameters are supported. [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/search/RestSearchAction.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/search/RestSearchAction.java) [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/search/SearchRequest.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/search/SearchRequest.java) [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/internal/InternalSearchRequest.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/internal/InternalSearchRequest.java) However, reading the class comments of the last class (InternalSearchRequest), it appears your syntax should be valid. I would try to do an end-to-end test case and gist the results in case it is a bug.
