I want to get the filtered list of nested documents, so i started working with inner\_hits, which allows to get the filtered nested items. However the inner hits has a size constraint of 100.  
I have more than 100 items per nested object.  
Is there a way to increase the inner hits limit or write another query which would return me the filtered list of nested objects.

Thanks  
Vijay

I found the answer:  
This limit can be set by changing the [index.max\_inner\_result\_window] index level setting.
