Hi all, I was wondering how the scroing works when I ask for paginating results. I run a test with the following search requests: _Request 1_ I run the following search request and write the results in a file. SearchRequestBuilder searchRequestBuilder = client.prepareSearch(INDEX\_NAME) .setSize(10) .setQuery(queryBuilder); SearchResponse searchResponse = searchRequestBuilder.execute() .actionGet(); _Request 2_ I run the folloing search requests and write the results in a file (actually two files, one for each request). SearchRequestBuilder searchRequestBuilder = client.prepareSearch(INDEX\_NAME) .setFrom(0) .setSize(5) .setQuery(queryBuilder); SearchResponse searchResponse = searchRequestBuilder.execute() .actionGet(); SearchRequestBuilder searchRequestBuilder = client.prepareSearch(INDEX\_NAME) .setFrom(1) .setSize(5) .setQuery(queryBuilder); SearchResponse searchResponse = searchRequestBuilder.execute() .actionGet(); After that I check if I join the two files from the second request if it will be the same with the first one. Unfortunately, I noticed that the results from the second request are not sorted in a right way like the results from the first one. (I am not using any special sorting so I suppose that the sorting should be done by the relevance score). Does anyone knows more information about this issue? FYI. I use elasticsearch 1.4.0 Cheers, Sotiris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Are you sure you want the hits 0-5 and 1-6 in request 2? I assume you want hits 0-5 and 5-10.
