When i do a search, i get the results as { "took" : 1, "timed\_out" : false, "\_shards" : { "total" : 5, "successful" : 5, "failed" : 0 }, "hits" : { "total" : 26, "max\_score" : 1.0, ..... } Even though the hits.total says 26, i get back only 10 records. is there a max cap on how many records that is returned, if so, how to iterate for more results. can this be specified in the query with some limit parameter on how records to return ? ---

By default only 10 rows are returned.....you can pass in the size: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

One more question on this regard..... $ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet,user/\_count](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet,user/_count)? q=user:kimchy' when i use the count feature, it provide the total matches across the types, but it would nice if it could tell how many in the individual types (instead of firing separate queries for each types). Also, when i use the from and size, to search among different types, is there a possibility to size number of records for each types ? Otherwise, the global search doesn't really make much sense, if one has to exhaust all the records of a particular type before looking into another type....

You can use facets for this on top of \_index or \_type fields: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

You want to tell ES that you want it to include 2 documents from index A and 8 documents from index B into the first 10 most relevant results?
