Paging With Completion Suggester

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I want to page my completion suggester results.

at present I have a request like the following:

var skip = (pageNumber - 1) * this.pageSize;

this.client.suggest({
index: 'books',
type: 'book',
body: {
search_books : {
text : term,
completion : {
from : skip,
size : this.pageSize,
field : "suggested_book"
}
}
}
});

But i dont know how to generate a page as it doesnt return a valid Total.

i.e. i need something like:

var total = resp.search_books.total;
var pages = Math.max(1, Math.ceil(total/this.pageSize));

Any ideas how best to proceed???

For now i'm just going to go with <<< Previous Next >>> buttons.

if options.length >= pagesize then we have more.
if page > 1, then we have less.

so "suggest" does not support "from" ??

i guess this feature is not meant to be used with any reasonably sized data
set??
