Missing results from es when using simple curl

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am trying out elastic search for the first time. I just have 1 node and 1
index.

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/testing/dummy/1 -d '{
"snapshotTime" : "2012-10-31T13:31:21",
"ratio" : "50",
"description" : "sample description"

}'

I have indexed 500 such dummies to index 'testing'.
http://localhost:9200/testing/dummy/1
.
.
.
.
http://localhost:9200/testing/dummy/500

Now, when I tried a matchAll query with this data set,

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9202/_all/_search?pretty=true' -d '
{
"query" : {
"matchAll" : {}
}
}'
I get back only 10 results and they are random every time. However, the
total hits remain 500. The hits array only contain 10 entries. Am I missing
something?

Thanks.

Hello,

You can specify how many results you get back via "size":

Thanks. Is there any maximum limit on the size?

If you need to export your results (for big sizes), you should look at the scan&scroll features.

Hello Dinesh,

I'm not sure, but I think it's MAX_INT-1 or something like that. But
if you want to go through a lot of results, you almost certainly would
be better off if you set your type of search to scan[0] and then
scroll[1] through the results.

That said, the scan type doesn't support sorting[2].

Best regards,
Radu
