I have a document that has nested items, and in some cases I need to query documents that have nested items that match the filter applied in the search and return all nested items that match. To do this, in the search query I add the value `inner_hits`. In my tests I noticed that it only returns 3 items by default, and to return more I need to add a size, such as `size: 100`, to return 100 items. It happens that if there are more than 100 items I cannot add a size like 150, nor can I navigate between the results, for example, making two queries one with `from:0, size:100` and another with `from:101, size:50`. In all cases I always have to increase Elasticsearch's `max_inner_result_window` configuration. Is there any way, like scrolling, to navigate between inner\_hits without having to increase the `max_inner_result_window`? Because if I have a thousand records or more, it won't make sense to have to increase this. ---
