Hi, I'm new to ElasticSearch and I'm following the Getting Started tutorial. Right now I'm looking at "the search api" section (link: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/\_the\_search\_api.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_the_search_api.html)). I have successfully added the records from accounts.json sample data to an ElasticSearch index (as taught in the section before "the search api"), but when I search for it using curl 'localhost:9200/bank/\_search?q=\*&pretty' ... the response states that it found a total of 1000 hits, but only shows 10 of them. Is this regular behavior? If so, is there a way to override it so it returns all the hits instead of just 10? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
