scroll #

Moves a search cursor forward.

A search cursor is created by a search API call, with a scroll value provided.

Results returned by a scroll request reflect the state of the index at the time of the initial search request, like a fixed snapshot. Subsequent changes to documents do not affect the scroll results.
