I have an Elasticsearch index that contains documents with `company` and `subscription` fields. The `subscription` field can have values like `platinum`, `silver`, and `gold`. For every search by company name, I need to retrieve results in the following format: - 10 results per page - 5 companies with a `platinum` subscription - 3 companies with a `silver` subscription - 2 companies with a `gold` subscription How can I achieve this in Elasticsearch? Is there a way to structure the query and pagination to meet these requirements? ---

Run 3 separate queries as a single request using the [multi search API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.13/search-multi-search.html), each fetching the appropriate number of matches for one specific subscription level. The three queries will paginate separately, which makes for a rather simple solution that is easy to test and maintain.
