I am using elastic search in my node js projec, version of elastic search is 6.2 .I have used NPM package mongosastic for searching the index.During a multiple terms query search the pagination is not working.The same result is returned after each hit of pagination.The query is supposed to sort by date of the field being created.  
**Query**  
Paperupload.esSearch({  
from:from,  
size:size,  
query:{  
bool:{  
"must": {  
"bool" : { "should": [{terms : {"userId.\_id": followersDetail}}] }  
},  
"must": {  
"bool" : { "should": [{terms : {"topics.topic\_name": topi}}] }  
},  
"must\_not": {  
"bool" : { "should": [{terms : {"\_id": userPapersId}}] }  
}  
}  
},  
sort:{  
"createdAt":{  
"order" : "desc"  
}  
}  
},  
function(err, results) {  
con  
})

Are you sure the `from` and `size` parameters are being set correctly?  
Also, recognise that the search API does not preserve a single-point-in-time view between requests so any updates between requests may push something that was on page1 of search request 1 onto page 2 of search request 2, particularly if sorting by date.

from is the document number not a page number.

This is asking for everything after the first doc
