Searching most recent objects

I am using the javascript API and want to do a search and have it search
through the most recent objects, IE I call a search with size 100, I want
to have the most recent 100 objects returned to me, how would I go about
doing that?

I tried using sort, but it seems that it just sorts the results after the
search completed

I am also facing the same issue.

Right now, I am just doing a filter myself, but I would assume this is a
common use case, an ES must have a way to deal with it?

Filter (range filter on the date/time field) is exactly the way to do this.

Another possibility is using rolling indexes (e.g. an index per day, like
the logstash indexes are defined) but that obviously depends on a lot of
other business concerns and isn't really viable for most applications

Thanks Itamar.

So are you saying it's not possible to ask ES for the most recent X objects
that match the given query? Only to say give me the last 30 days of
objects?

For recent X just sort on the _timestamp field and specify X as the page
size
