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??
