In my index, I have different "types", for example "account", "posts",  
"tags" and so on.

I want to create a site-wide search where we search the user's query  
against certain fields + conditions in account, another site of fields +  
conditions in posts and the same for tags. Essentially, this is going to be  
an "omnibox", similiar to how Facebook's search will return different  
types, (users, groups, etc).

I have been looking at the multi search api (  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/multi-search.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/multi-search.html)) and it  
looks like I can send multiple queries to ES. The problem, however, is that  
I would like to do some paganiation using from and size. Does the  
multisearch API support from and size?

If not, are there any other options for doing a site-wide search with  
different types?
