Not able to limit size of result

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am executing the following query, but my result set contains 10 items even
though I am trying to limit it to 3. Any tips?

{
"size": 4,
"query" : {
"bool" : {
"must" : {
"field" : { "mimetype" : "text/html" }
},
"must" : {
"field" : { "locale" : "en" }
}
}
}
}

Result:

{
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 8,
"hits" : [ {...} ]
}
}

Hi,

interesting. Limit on size works quite good for me. Are you able to
replicate this with curl and some simple testing data?
BTW: Just to be sure I understand you correctly, you are saying that with
the json snippets in your email you are getting more then 4 items in the
hits.hits array?

Regards,
Lukas

The total marker returns the total hits for the mentioned query across all
relevant data. The elements in the hits will be bounded by the size
parameter (except when using search_type of query_and_fetch).
