Changes:
* Moves `Retrieve selected fields` to its own page and adds a title abbreviation.
* Adds existing script and stored fields content to `Retrieve selected fields`
* Adds a xref for `Retrieve selected fields` to `Search your data`
* Adds related redirects and updates existing xrefs
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.
While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.
In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.
This feature adds a new `fields` parameter to the search request, which
consults both the document `_source` and the mappings to fetch fields in a
consistent way. The PR merges the `field-retrieval` feature branch.
Addresses #49028 and #55363.
Moves the search sort docs from the deprecated 'Request Body Search'
page to a new subpage of 'Run a search'.
No substantive changes were made to the content.
Adds a new `my-index-00001` REST test for docs snippets.
This test can serve as a lightweight replacement for
our existing `twitter` REST tests.
The new dataset is:
* Based on Apache logs, which is better aligned with Elastic use cases
* Compliant with ECS
* Similar to the existing `twitter` data set, containing the same field data types
* Lightweight, which should keep existing test runtimes roughly the same
Also updates the search API reference docs to use the new test.
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.
Relates to #53175
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
* Add index filtering in field capabilities API
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.
Closes#56195
* Adding documentation for near real-time search.
* Adding link to NRT topic and clarifying some text.
* Adding diagrams and incorporating changes from David T.
Changes:

page.
* Adds docs for the `docvalue_fields` request body parameter.

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.
