How to get all results back from search?

After executing a search, the Search hits.total is over 9000. However, when I check the length of hits.hits it is only 10:

>>> client = Elasticsearch(['http://nightly.apinf.io:14002'])
>>> search = Search(using=client)
>>> results = search.execute()
>>> results.hits.total
9611
>>> len(results.hits.hits)
10

How do I get back all 9611 search results?

@abhimanyu3 sorry for the late response, by default the scan return things unordered. To have it respect the sort you need to do s = s.params(preserve_order=True) before calling s.scan() (see [0] for details).

Also, if you want to retrieve all the hits, there is a specialized method called scan that will iterate over all the hits, not just the top N. That is the recommended way if you want to unload all of the documents above lets say a few hundred or thousand.
