Use search_before with from/offset and sort to control pagination in search results.

Give a value for each string or JSON object in the sort array to the search_before array. The Search Service starts search result pagination before the document with those values.

You must provide the values in the same order that they appear in the sort array.

For example, if you had a set of 10 documents to sort based on _id values of 1-10, with from set to 2 and search_before set to 8, documents 2-6 appear on the same page.

Note: If you use search_before in a search request, you can’t use search_after. Both properties are included in the example code to show the correct syntax.
