Add a short extra sentence that explains that a missing query part in a search
request containing a "suggest" section will mean only suggestions are returned.
Closes#31640
* Deprecate types in count requests.
* Move RestCountAction to the 'search' package.
* Deprecate types in multi search requests.
* Add tests for types deprecation in the _search endpoint.
The documentation of `search_after` recommends to use the `_id`
field as a tiebreaker for the sort without warning against
the additional memory required. This change changes the recommandation
to use a copy of the `_id` field with doc_values enabled.
Deprecates `_source_include` and `_source_exclude` url parameters
in favor of `_source_inclues` and `_source_excludes` because those
are consistent with the rest of Elasticsearch's APIs.

* Replace custom type names with _doc in REST examples.
* Avoid using two mapping types in the percolator docs.
* Rename doc -> _doc in the main repository README.
* Also replace some custom type names in the HLRC docs.
This change clarifies the documentation of the context completion suggester
regarding filtering and boosting with contexts.
Unlike the suggester v1, filtering on multiple contexts
works as a disjunction, a suggestion matches if it contains at least one of the provided
context values and boosting selects the maximum score among the matching contexts.
This commit also adapts an old test that was written for the v1 suggester and commented out
for version 2 because the behavior changed.
The main benefit of the upgrade for users is the search optimization for top scored documents when the total hit count is not needed. However this optimization is not activated in this change, there is another issue opened to discuss how it should be integrated smoothly.
Some comments about the change:
* Tests that can produce negative scores have been adapted but we need to forbid them completely: #33309Closes#32899
Global search timeouts and timeouts specified in the search request body use the
same internal mechanism as search cancellation. Therefore the same caveats
apply, mostly around the responsiveness of the timeout which gets only checked
by a running search on segment boundaries by default.
Closes#31263
This commit adds the support to early terminate the collection of a leaf
in the aggregation framework. This change introduces a MultiBucketCollector which
handles CollectionTerminatedException exactly like the Lucene MultiCollector.
Any aggregator can now throw a CollectionTerminatedException without stopping
the collection of a sibling aggregator. This is useful for aggregators that
can infer their result without visiting all documents (e.g.: a min/max aggregation on a match_all query).
* Search: Support of wildcard on docvalue_fields
For consistency with stored_fields, docvalue_fields should support the use of wildcards.
Documentation of doc values fields is updated accordingly.

We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).
Today `_msearch` doesn't allow modifying the `max_concurrent_shard_requests`
per sub search request. This change adds support for setting this parameter on
all sub-search requests in an `_msearch`.

The notion of "quality" is an overloaded term in the search ranking evaluation
context. Its usually used to decribe certain levels of "good" vs. "bad" of a
seach result with respect to the users information need. We currently report the
result of the ranking evaluation as `quality_level` which is a bit missleading.
This changes the response parameter name to `metric_score` which fits better.
Currently the ranking evaluation response contains a 'unknown_docs' section
for each search use case in the evaluation set. It contains document ids for
results in the search hits that currently don't have a quality rating.
This change renames it to `unrated_docs`, which better reflects its purpose.
Today it is unclear what guarantees are offered by the search preference
feature, and we claim a guarantee that is stronger than what we really offer:
> A custom value will be used to guarantee that the same shards will be used
> for the same custom value.
This commit clarifies this documentation.
Forward-port of #32098 to `master`.
Adds support for `ignore_unmapped` parameter in geo distance sorting,
which is functionally equivalent to specifying an `unmapped_type` in
the field sort.
Closes#28152
This change deprecates completion queries and documents without context that target a
context enabled completion field. Querying without context degrades the search
performance considerably (even when the number of indexed contexts is low).
This commit targets master but the deprecation will take place in 6.x and the functionality
will be removed in 7 in a follow up.
Closes#29222
This commit adds the ability to configure how a docvalue field should be
formatted, so that it would be possible eg. to return a date field
formatted as the number of milliseconds since Epoch.
Closes#27740
Currently the first snippet in the documentation test in script-fields.asciidoc
isn't executed, although it has the CONSOLE annotation. Adding a test setup
annotation to it seems to fix the problem.
This commit changes the default out-of-the-box configuration for the
number of shards from five to one. We think this will help address a
common problem of oversharding. For users with time-based indices that
need a different default, this can be managed with index templates. For
users with non-time-based indices that find they need to re-shard with
the split API in place they no longer need to resort only to
reindexing.
Since this has the impact of changing the default number of shards used
in REST tests, we want to ensure that we still have coverage for issues
that could arise from multiple shards. As such, we randomize (rarely)
the default number of shards in REST tests to two. This is managed via a
global index template. However, some tests check the templates that are
in the cluster state during the test. Since this template is randomly
there, we need a way for tests to skip adding the template used to set
the number of shards to two. For this we add the default_shards feature
skip. To avoid having to write our docs in a complicated way because
sometimes they might be behind one shard, and sometimes they might be
behind two shards we apply the default_shards feature skip to all docs
tests. That is, these tests will always run with the default number of
shards (one).
* Clarify documentation of scroll_id
The Scroll API may return the same scroll ID for multiple requests due to server side state. This is not clear from the current documentation.
* Further clarify scroll ID return behaviour
Some features have been deprecated since `6.0` like the `_parent` field or the
ability to have multiple types per index. This allows to remove quite some
code, which in-turn will hopefully make it easier to proceed with the removal
of types.
The rank_eval documentation was missing an explanation of the parameter
`k` that controls the number of top hits that are used in the ranking evaluation.
Closes#29205
Increase the default limit of `index.highlight.max_analyzed_offset` to 1M instead of previous 10K.
Enhance an error message when offset increased to include field name, index name and doc_id.
