I am brand new to using Elasticsearch and I'm having an issue getting all results back when I run an Elasticsearch query through my Python script. My goal is to query an index ("my_index" below), take those results, and put them into a pandas DataFrame which goes through a Django app and eventually ends up in a Word document. My code is: es = Elasticsearch() logs_index = "my_index" logs = es.search(index=logs_index,body=my_query) and it tells me I have 72 hits, but then when I do: df = logs['hits']['hits'] len(df) It says the length is only 10. I saw someone had a similar issue on this question but their solution did not work for me. from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch from elasticsearch_dsl import Search es = Elasticsearch() logs_index = "my_index" search = Search(using=es) total = search.count() search = search[0:total] logs = es.search(index=logs_index,body=my_query) len(logs['hits']['hits']) The len function still says I only have 10 results. What am I doing wrong, or what else can I do to get all 72 results back? ETA: I am aware that I can just add "size": 10000 to my query to stop it from truncating to just 10, but since the user will be entering their search query I need to find another way that isn't just in the search query.
