**Code :**
`$client = ClientBuilder::create()->build(); $params = ['index' => 'rbmq', 'type' => 'users', 'body' => [ 'query' => [ 'match' => [ 'email' => [ 'query' =>'@gmail.com', 'operator'=>'and'] ], ] ] ]; $results = $client->search($params); $r=$results["hits"]["hits"]; $total = $results["hits"]["total"]; echo "TOTAL: ". $total ."
"; foreach ($r as $key ) { echo $key["_source"]["email"],"
" ; echo $key["_source"]["username"]; echo "
"; }`
**Result:**
TOTAL: 13

You can specify a `size` [parameter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/search-request-from-size.html) (which defaults to 10) to determine the number of results to be returned. This is limited at 10000, as you should use [a scroll query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/search-request-scroll.html) if you want to retrieve larger volumes of data.
