Hey there,
is there a way to offset a subset of elements in my search-result if they
match a certain criteria?
Imagine the following: "find all but not the first 5 which have the
attribute "foo" set to true"?
i've created a gist here: [https://gist.github.com/digitalkaoz/7827078](https://gist.github.com/digitalkaoz/7827078)
is this generally possible or am i doing it completly wrong?
Cheers
Robert

What about `from` in the request body search? You'll have to make sure
the sorting is consistent, though.

But "from" only offsets the whole results. i want to offset only some
results which matches a query...
any other ideas?
