When looking at the docs it is important to make sure you are looking at the right version. As far as I can see the _knn_search API does not exist for Elasticsearch 7.17. As this is an area where a lot of development and changes are taking place I would recommend you upgrade to the latest 8.x version in order to ensure you do not develop a solution based on a changing or deprecating API.

Which client and version are you using?
