Thanks for the response Adrien. I'm excited to upgrade to 1.2, but it seems
strange to me that people refer to scan vs. scroll (you're not the first)
as scan is simply a search_type that - AFAIK - can be used for any type of
search (scroll or otherwise).
It just seems strange that setting the search_type=scan changes the
behavior of _search/scroll significantly (size=N semantics differ and no
first page is returned).

scan is mainly useful as a way to export data from the index. In the
context of a user interface, I think scroll would make more sense[1]. On a
side note, paging improved significantly for scroll requests in
Elasticsearch 1.2 (in both terms of speed and memory usage).

2. search_type=scan doesn't seem to honor size=N
It seems I missed this in the guide:
When scanning, the size is applied to each shard, so you will get back a
maximum of size * number_of_primary_shards documents in each batch.
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/scan-scroll.html
...but that only seems to be the case with the scan search_type. Do I
just have to divide the user's requested page size by my number of shards
(5 at this point)?
