ElasticSearch Essentials 3.17.11

• Fix case where "Weight by X" was not being applied to search queries
• Add "Apply content weights to auto-complete" option (default disabled, as it increases the query complexity)

• Require XenForo 2.2+
• Fix "[ESE] Autocomplete" permission was not being checked for root-level autocomplete attempts
  • User's must have '[ESE] Autocomplete' permission in a global context, while '[ESE] Autocomplete' can be revoked per-forum.
• Allow autocomplete links to be clickable
• Add "last updated limit" to autocomplete & similar thread widget to support limiting by last update for threads/resources/Bob's AMS Articles
  • Requires re-indexing of resources & AMS Articles to enable this!
• Add "Redirect to top validated suggestion" option.
  If search result suggestion validation is enabled, a search with no results will redirect to the suggested search term with the most results.

• Fix "Cannot access offset of type string on string" on some member thread lists

Elasticsearch currently contains a vulnerability which can allow remote code execution or leaking server IP.

It is strongly recommended to upgrade to Elasticsearch 6.3+ and apply the documented migration.

• Restore ElasticSearch 5.0 support when using "Exact title" and "Exact body" features
  • ES 5.0 does not support the "quote for exact match" feature
  • ElasticSearch 2.x probably works but isn't actively supported

• php 8.1 compatibility fix

• Prevent case where an elasticsearch error could be triggered by an autocomplete query with non-continuous child forum node ids
  • Work-around for similar stock XenForo bug for thread search and arbitrary forum nodes, most commonly seen by constructed search queries

• Fix support for XF2.2+ "Writing before registering" when replacing XFES similar threads on thread creation

• Code cleanup around add-on options handling during install/upgrades
• Fix "Auto complete results limit" option being ignored

• Remove redundant join, as this add-on forces XFES to use caching provider if configured.
• Do not fetch user activity records in similar thread block as these records are not used
• Improvements to xf-rebuild:search-bulk;
  • Sort content types to index from least number of items to most, to get the most types done the quickest.
  • Allow multiple --content-type arguments to specify more than one content type to index
