I’m self training on Elasticsearch (ES) on the web. In regard to this page, [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/\_executing\_aggregations.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_executing_aggregations.html), how would one see results returned for more than ten states, (ten being the default)?

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/\_search?pretty' -d '  
{  
"size": 0,  
"aggs": {  
"group\_by\_state": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "state"  
}  
}  
}  
}'

I tried sticking a “size: 20”, for example inside the ‘aggs’ section but it didn’t work.

Thanks.

Have a look at this section of the documentation and the example in the code block that follows it: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#\_size](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#_size)

oh, okay, it goes right into the 'terms' section:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/\_search?pretty' -d '  
{  
"size": 0,  
"aggs": {  
"group\_by\_state": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "state",  
"size": 20  
}  
}  
}  
}'

thank you
