"from" without "size" does nothing

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

If I execute the following ES returns the correct set of posts, 2000-2024.

#!/bin/bash

curl -XGET 'http://192.168.1.5:9200/_search' -d @- <<EOF | python
-mjson.tool
{
"query" : {
"more_like_this" : {
"fields" : ["content", "title"],
"like_text" : "jetblue blew tire",
"min_term_freq" : 1
},
"from" : 2000,
"size" : 25
}
}
EOF
However, leaving out the "size" (defaulting), always returns posts 0-24,
and ignores the "from" parameter.
#!/bin/bash

curl -XGET 'http://192.168.1.5:9200/_search' -d @- <<EOF | python
-mjson.tool
{
"query" : {
"more_like_this" : {
"fields" : ["content", "title"],
"like_text" : "jetblue blew tire",
"min_term_freq" : 1
},
"from" : 2000
}
}
EOF
Is this expected behavior? I can't find documentation either way.

...Thanks,

Strange that it works for you, the "from" and "size" should be set on the
same "query" level:
http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/search/from_size/.

They are on the same query level, just not on the same line. The docs
don't say that 'size' is required when 'from' is supplied.
