Setting Elastic search limit to "unlimited"

Question

How can i get all the results from elastic search as the results only display limit to 10 only. ihave got a query like:

@data = Athlete.search :load => true do           size 15           query do             boolean do               must { string q, {:fields => ["name", "other_names", "nickname", "short_name"], :phrase_slop => 5} }               unless conditions.blank?                 conditions.each do |condition|                   must { eval(condition) }                 end               end               unless excludes.blank?                 excludes.each do |exclude|                   must_not { eval(exclude) }                 end               end             end           end           sort do             by '_score', "desc"           end         end 

i have set the limit to 15 but i wan't to make it unlimited so that i can get all the data I can't set the limit as my data keeps on changing and i want to get all the data.

You can use the from and size parameters to page through all your data. This could be very slow depending on your data and how much is in the index.
