Hi all,

I'm try to search in ES via spring boot, and I have a stuck with search after .  
So I have a search api look like below:

```
GET /domain/_search
{
"size": 1000,
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{"match": {
"location": "chi minh"
}} 
]
}
},
"sort": [
{"uid": "asc"}
],
"search_after": ["-1_GV8BvdYWz-mSbJ8JcgQ=="]
}

```

I do some research but not find the way to implement this query on spring.  
Can anybody suggest me the best way to implement that.  
Thanks you.

The `SearchRequest` object has a `source(SearchSourceBuilder)` method. You can create a `new SearchSourceBuilder()` object which exposes a `searchAfter(Object[])` method which I guess you can use for that 🙂 .

thank for your suggestion, It worked for me 🙂  
Here is my implementation:

> SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("domain");  
> searchRequest.types("data");  
> searchRequest.source(searchSourceBuilder);  
> SearchResponse searchResponse = elasticsearchTemplate.getClient().search(searchRequest).actionGet();
