Hello,

I have two elasticsearch queries that I would like to combine into one using the `_msearch` endpoint. The first one is a normal query to filter by `_id`s and the second is a `_count` query.

Now I know I am able to combine these using the `size: 0` parameter in my request body, but the issue is that it will only return a value up to 10000, but the `_count` query will return a larger number.

The above solution is described here: [Is there a "Multi Count API" in ES](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/is-there-a-multi-count-api-in-es/109394)

Is there anyway to get a true count using a multisearch?

Thanks!
