Research direction

Start with the MongoDB Atlas Search pagination documentation linked in the issue, then trace the Java server's existing limit/skip pagination entry point. Clarify whether limit/skip should be deprecated and how it relates to searchAfter; done means the chosen pagination behavior is implemented and the server's pagination behavior is validated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

See https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/paginate-results/#std-label-fts-paginate-results

Should then deprecate current limit/skip?
