  Like using 'WHERE field IN' parameters

• 20230425 |/docs/2.5/search-plugins/sql/full-text/ |I am looking for more detailed description about multi_match options. In this article you have only a list of options and a misleading statement in the bottom "Please, refer to multi_match query documentation for parameter description and supported values." which points to itself.

• 20230926 | /docs/latest/search-plugins/knn/performance-tuning/ | it's misleading doc. The disable refresh interval doesn't apply to permanents basis improvement. Need to add commands to all recommendation to help test them. Really disappointed.

• 20231002 | /docs/latest/search-plugins/neural-search/ | Query and index examples are disconnected, which makes the documentation hard to follow. One uses a field "passage_embedding" but the query uses "passage_vector". An example of a query that can be run on the example index would help connect the dots.

• 20230919 | /docs/2.9/search-plugins/neural-search/ | The 'passage_vector' field in the Example request should be replaced with the name of your vectorized field. You can check the details of your search pipeline to see it.
