Hello:
My query would returns 10000 hits sorted. I'd like client app to only skip
by 100 hits before retrieve next hit
For examle, retrieve only 1st, 101th, 201th, 301th,... 901th, I'd like
this to be done at server side
so server will only return the needed hits, instead of return all 10000
docs for client to check and skip.
Anyway to add server side "plugin" to handle this?
Thanks very much in advance.
