I'm running Elasticsearch 7.17.0, and when I try to run the following query:

```auto
GET index_name/_search
{
  "query": {
    "wildcard": {
      "fieldName.subfield": "*view",
      "case_insensitive": true
    }
  }
}

```

I get the following error:

```auto
{
        "type" : "parsing_exception",
        "reason" : "[wildcard] query doesn't support multiple fields, found [subject.wildcard] and [case_insensitive]",
        "line" : 6,
        "col" : 27
      }

```

Documentation indicates case-insensitive wildcard search has existed since 7.10, so I'm curious about the error.

Hi!

Try this:

```auto
GET index_name/_search
{
  "query": {
    "wildcard": {
      "fieldName.subfield": {
        "value": "*view",
        "case_insensitive": true
      }
    }
  }
}

```
