10:43 AMIf i were to perform a MultiSearch, would there be any way to set the amount of hits to return and also, if it was possible, how would I use "pages"? I see on the responses that there is the key

10:46 AMIn this example you see two different
q parameters being sent to two different collections. Likewise you can send any parameter.Juan

02:20 PMper_page: 1 :[
{
facet_counts: [],
found: 2,
hits: [ [Object] ],
out_of: 2,
page: 1,
request_params: { collection_name: 'dev_users', per_page: 1, q: 'Xh4H' },
search_time_ms: 0
},

facet_counts: [],
found: 0,
hits: [],
out_of: 0,
page: 1,
request_params: { collection_name: 'dev_machines', per_page: 1, q: 'Xh4H' },
search_time_ms: 0
}
]I would like to know if its possible to know if pagination is possible, currently the only way that i think its possible is by calculating the length of hits, checking
out_of and also checking the current page. Is there any simpler way?Kishore Nallan
