Yep, tahts what you would use. Though, for a 1 million hits, asking for from: 900,000 is not recommended because of the memory implications of it.

Presumably, it's still way better than doing {from: 0, size: 900010} and pulling off the last 10, though! -- Richard ---

Right :). Though, I plan to introduce a new search type called "scan" that will allow for that though without doing any sorting (scoring or otherwise).
