Moves the highlighting docs from the deprecated 'Request Body Search'
chapter to the new subpage of the 'Run a search chapter' section.
No substantive changes were made to the content.
Introduces a new method on `MappedFieldType` to return a family type name which defaults to the field type.
Changes `wildcard` and `constant_keyword` field types to return `keyword` for field capabilities.

Changes:
* Adds additional examples to the `Search a data stream` section of
`Use a data stream`
* Updates existing search docs to make them aware of data streams
This change allows to use an `index_filter` in the
field capabilities API. Indices are filtered from
the response if the provided query rewrites to `match_none`
on every shard:
````
GET metrics-*
{
"index_filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [
"range": {
"@timestamp": {
"gt": "2019"
}
}
}
}
}
````
The filtering is done on a best-effort basis, it uses the can match phase
to rewrite queries to `match_none` instead of fully executing the request.
The first shard that can match the filter is used to create the field
capabilities response for the entire index.

Cleans up the reference documentation for the following
search API parameters:
* `_source` query parameter
* `_source_excludes` query parameter
* `_source_includes` query parameter
* `_source` request body parameter
* `hits._source` response property
Moves the source filtering example snippets form the "Request body
search" API docs page to the "Return fields in a search" section of the
"Run a search" page.
This PR adds a section to the new 'run a search' reference that explains
the options for returning fields. Previously each option was only listed as a
separate request parameter and it was hard to know what was available.
Several APIs support options that can be specified as a query parameter or a
request body parameter.
Currently, this is documented using notes, which can get rather lengthy. This
replaces those multiple notes with a single note and a footnote.
Generally we don't advocate for using `stored_fields`, and we're interested in
eventually removing the need for this parameter. So it's best to avoid using
stored fields in our docs examples when it's not actually necessary.
Individual changes:
* Avoid using 'stored_fields' in our docs.
* When defining script fields in top-hits, de-emphasize stored fields.
Reworks the `from / size` content to `Paginate search results`.
Moves those docs from the request body search API page (slated for
deletion) to the `Run a search` tutorial docs.
Also adds some notes to the `from` and `size` param docs.

**Goal**
Create a top-level search section. This will let us clean up our search
API reference docs, particularly content from [`Request body search`][0].
**Changes**
* Creates a top-level `Search your data` page. This page is designed to
house concept and tutorial docs related to search.
* Creates a `Run a search` page under `Search your data`. For now, This
contains a basic search tutorial. The goal is to add content from
[`Request body search`][0] to this in the future.
* Relocates `Long-running searches` and `Search across clusters` under
`Search your data`. Increments several headings in that content.
* Reorders the top-level TOC to move `Search your data` higher. Also
moves the `Query DSL`, `EQL`, and `SQL access` chapters immediately
after.

This saves memory when running numeric significant terms which are not
at the top level by merging its collection into numeric terms and relying
on the optimization that we made in #55873.
This adds a few things to the `breakdown` of the profiler:
* `histogram` aggregations now contain `total_buckets` which is the
count of buckets that they collected. This could be useful when
debugging a histogram inside of another bucketing agg that is fairly
selective.
* All bucketing aggs that can delay their sub-aggregations will now add
a list of delayed sub-aggregations. This is useful because we
sometimes have fairly involved logic around which sub-aggregations get
delayed and this will save you from having to guess.
* Aggregtations wrapped in the `MultiBucketAggregatorWrapper` can't
accurately add anything to the breakdown. Instead they the wrapper
adds a marker entry `"multi_bucket_aggregator_wrapper": true` so we
can be quickly pick out such aggregations when debugging.
It also fixes a bug where `_count` breakdown entries were contributing
to the overall `time_in_nanos`. They didn't add a large amount of time
so it is unlikely that this caused a big problem, but I was there.
To support the arbitrary breakdown data this reworks the profiler so
that the `breakdown` can contain any data that is supported by
`StreamOutput#writeGenericValue(Object)` and
`XContentBuilder#value(Object)`.
Changes:
* Moves the document request body parameters for the search API
from the Request body search page to the Search API reference page.
* Relocates a search request body example from the Request body search
page to the Search API reference page.
* Adds a note to any duplicated query and request body parameters.
This is a backport of #55884 with redirects removed.
Changes:
* Adds an abbreviated title for the search API page.
* Removes the following invalid query parameters:
* `analyzer`
* `analyze_wildcard`
* `default_operator`
* `df`
* `lenient`
* `suggest_mode`
* `suggest_size`
* Replaces the URI search page's query parameter docs with a xref
* Updates the headings of several examples
This has no practical impact on users since frozen indices are the only
throttled indices today. However this has an impact on upcoming features
that would use search throttling.
Filtering out throttled indices made sense a couple years ago, but as
we're now improving support for slow requests with `_async_search` and
exploring ways to reduce storage costs, this feature has most likely
become a trap, that we'd like to not have with upcoming features that
would use search throttling.

The failing suggester documentation test was expecting specific scores in the
test response, which is fragile implementation details that e.g. can change with
different lucene versions and generally shouldn't be done in documentation test.
Instead we usually replace the float values in the output response by the ones
in the actual response.
Closes#54257
This commit renames wait_for_completion to wait_for_completion_timeout in submit async search and get async search.
Also it renames clean_on_completion to keep_on_completion and turns around its behaviour.
Closes#54069
Submit async search forces pre_filter_shard_size for the underlying search that it creates.
With this commit we also prevent users from overriding such default as part of request validation.
This commit changes the pre_filter_shard_size default from 128 to unspecified.
This allows to apply heuristics based on the request and the target indices when deciding
whether the can match phase should run or not. When unspecified, this pr runs the can match phase
automatically if one of these conditions is met:
* The request targets more than 128 shards.
* The request contains read-only indices.
* The primary sort of the query targets an indexed field.
Users can opt-out from this behavior by setting the `pre_filter_shard_size` to a static value.
Closes#39835
* Get Async Search: omit _clusters section when empty (#53907)
The _clusters section is omitted by the search API whenever no remote clusters are searched. Async search should do the same, but Get Async Search returns a deserialized response, hence a weird `_clusters` section with all values set to `0` gets returned instead. In fact the recreated Clusters object is not the same object as the EMPTY constant, yet it has the same content.
This commit addresses this by changing the comparison in the `toXContent` method to not print out the section if the number of total clusters is `0`.
* Async search: remove version from response (#53960)
The goal of the version field was to quickly show when you can expect to find something new in the search response, compared to when nothing has changed. This can also be done by looking at the `_shards` section and `num_reduce_phases` returned with the search response. In fact when there has been one or more additional reduction of the results, you can expect new results in the search response. Otherwise, the `_shards` section could notify of additional failures of shards that have completed the query, but that is not a guarantee that their results will be exposed (only when the following partial reduction is performed their results will be available).
That said this commit clarifies this in the docs and removes the version field from the async search response
* Async Search: replicas to auto expand from 0 to 1 (#53964)
This way single node clusters that are green don't go yellow once async search is used, while
all the others still have one replica.
* [DOCS] address timing issue in async search docs tests (#53910)
The docs snippets for submit async search have proven difficult to test as it is not possible to guarantee that you get a response that is not final, even when providing `wait_for_completion=0`. In the docs we want to show though a proper long-running query, and its first response should be partial rather than final.
With this commit we adapt the docs snippets to show a partial response, and replace under the hood all that's needed to make the snippets tests succeed when we get a final response. Also, increased the timeout so we always get a final response.
