How to se the max number of hits?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Is there a way to set the max number of hits via the Java API? I'm using
the size parameter for itemsPerPage, but I need to cap the max hits that
are returned.

Hey,

sorry I cannot follow you. Using size and from parameters helps you to
define the amount of SearchHits being returned. Of what different kind of
max hits are you speaking? Can you provide an example maybe?

If I do a search for "book" and there are 5000 book items in my index but I
only want user to only be able to search over the fist 2000 hundred I need
a way to cap the totalHits. This is different from the 'from' and 'size'
parameters as that is what I use for pagination, i.e. the 'from' is the
page the user is starting from, say '21' and the 'size' is the items per
page say '20'.

Hey,

this is an application issue and should be solved there as well. Simply
exchange the values from the JSON response if you need to and do not allow
to page that far (which should be easy as this is user input).
There is now way to tell elasticsearch to hide found hits... (doesnt make
sense for a search engine to hide results which are clearly hits).
