Hello ! I want to return **all the documents matching my query** but the limit is set to 10k ? What can I do to return all the documents ( they are so much higher than 10k documents) **without changing the index.max\_result\_window**. As I read in the documentation, I should use the **search\_after** parameter but **I didn't know how to implement it**.  
I am using **elasticsearch 8.6** and a **Low Level REST Client**

```auto
SearchResponse<Example> response =client.search(s -> s
					.index("index-name")
					.query(q->q
							.match(t -> t
									.field("field")
									.query("something"))).size(10000),
					Example.class);
List<Hit<Example>> hits = response.hits().hits();

```
