Hi

I have an index, which is having 4 records. But its taking more 700 milliseconds.  
Note : index.max\_result\_window : 100000  
when decreasing window size, time also  
For each index number of records is different(some \< 10, some \> 50000), so how can i solve this problem??

Thanks  
Aneesh L

I don't think it's related to `index.max_result_window` setting but to the `size` parameter you are putting in your search call.

And I think that you set it to `"size": 100000`. Am I right?

And I hope you remember what I wrote:

Hi David Pilato

Is it possible to update index.max\_result\_window? Like I set it to 1000 and when adding a new data need to increment by 1(DynamicUpdate)

Thanks

Yes. But I'd not do that and I'd keep the default value as 10000.  
Again, a normal user can not read IMO 10000 results.
