Hi, The only way to implement it today would be on client side. However, I think this would be an interesting feature given that while Elasticsearch is fast at retrieving the top hits, going deeper in the result set can use lots of resources (both CPU-wise and memory-wise).
Can you open an issue on Github to suggest that this feature be implemented?
