Question 1: why can't I see all 1000 documents in my response pane on the right.

```
{

```

"took": 5,  
"timed\_out": false,  
"\_shards": {  
"total": 5,  
"successful": 5,  
"skipped": 0,  
"failed": 0  
},  
"hits": {  
"total": 1000,  
"max\_score": 1,  
"hits": [  
{  
"\_index": "account",  
"\_type": "account",  
"\_id": "25",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"account\_number": 25,  
"balance": 40540  
}  
},

Thank You

Hi,

It's the default limit set by Elasticsearch . You can change by appending ?size=100 to the URL.

Cheers

Rashmi,

Thank You so much. I know I am asking all basic questions. But as I continue to learn I will get hang of it.

Rashimi

Where can I find "?size" in the documentation on elastic site?

I want to get the list of all endpoints etc from the documentation.

Thank you
