Adrien Grand 95f46f1212 Docs: Use the new experimental annotation.
We now have a very useful annotation to mark features or parameters as
experimental. Let's use it! This commit replaces some custom text warnings with
this annotation and adds this annotation to some existing features/parameters:
 - inner_hits (unreleased yet)
 - terminate_after (released in 1.4)
 - per-bucket doc count errors in the terms agg (released in 1.4)

I also tagged with this annotation settings which should either be not needed
(like the ability to evict entries from the filter cache based on time) or that
are too deep into the way that Elasticsearch works like the Directory
implementation or merge settings.

[[search-uri-request]]
== URI Search
A search request can be executed purely using a URI by providing request
parameters. Not all search options are exposed when executing a search
using this mode, but it can be handy for quick "curl tests". Here is an
example:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search?q=user:kimchy'
--------------------------------------------------
And here is a sample response:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"_shards":{
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits":{
"total" : 1,
"hits" : [
{
"_index" : "twitter",
"_type" : "tweet",
"_id" : "1",
"_source" : {
"user" : "kimchy",
"postDate" : "2009-11-15T14:12:12",
"message" : "trying out Elasticsearch"
}
}
]
}
}
--------------------------------------------------

=== Parameters
The parameters allowed in the URI are:
[cols="<,<",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
|Name |Description
|`q` |The query string (maps to the `query_string` query, see
<<query-dsl-query-string-query,_Query String
Query_>> for more details).
|`df` |The default field to use when no field prefix is defined within the
query.
|`analyzer` |The analyzer name to be used when analyzing the query string.
|`default_operator` |The default operator to be used, can be `AND` or
`OR`. Defaults to `OR`.
|`explain` |For each hit, contain an explanation of how scoring of the
hits was computed.
|`_source`|Set to `false` to disable retrieval of the `_source` field. You can also retrieve
part of the document by using `_source_include` & `_source_exclude` (see the <<search-request-source-filtering, request body>>
documentation for more details)
|`fields` |The selective stored fields of the document to return for each hit,
comma delimited. Not specifying any value will cause no fields to return.
|`sort` |Sorting to perform. Can either be in the form of `fieldName`, or
`fieldName:asc`/`fieldName:desc`. The fieldName can either be an actual
field within the document, or the special `_score` name to indicate
sorting based on scores. There can be several `sort` parameters (order
is important).
|`track_scores` |When sorting, set to `true` in order to still track
scores and return them as part of each hit.
|`timeout` |A search timeout, bounding the search request to be executed
within the specified time value and bail with the hits accumulated up to
that point when expired. Defaults to no timeout.
|`terminate_after` |experimental[] The maximum number of documents to collect for
each shard, upon reaching which the query execution will terminate early.
If set, the response will have a boolean field `terminated_early` to
indicate whether the query execution has actually terminated_early.
Defaults to no terminate_after.
|`from` |The starting from index of the hits to return. Defaults to `0`.
|`size` |The number of hits to return. Defaults to `10`.
|`search_type` |The type of the search operation to perform. Can be
`dfs_query_then_fetch`, `dfs_query_and_fetch`, `query_then_fetch`,
`query_and_fetch`, `count`, `scan`. Defaults to `query_then_fetch`. See
<<search-request-search-type,_Search Type_>> for
more details on the different types of search that can be performed.
|`lowercase_expanded_terms` |Should terms be automatically lowercased or
not. Defaults to `true`.
|`analyze_wildcard` |Should wildcard and prefix queries be analyzed or
not. Defaults to `false`.
