You can use [`size` and `from` parameters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-from-size.html) to display by default up to 10000 records to your users. If you want to change this limit, you can change `index.max_result_window` setting but be aware of the consequences (ie memory).  
You can use the [search after](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-search-after.html) feature to do deep pagination.  
You can use the [Scroll API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-scroll.html) if you want to extract a resultset to be consumed by another tool later.
