Hi everyone,  
What is the correct syntax of using from and size in search api not using body?  
When i am using this syntax it is showing error..  
syntax: [http://localhost:9200/teststats/\_search?from=1,size=3](http://localhost:9200/teststats/_search?from=1,size=3)

Can anyone help me in sorting this?

Please take care of this from and size. It will affect your heap very lot when you have high data.
