Sorry if it's not the right place but there's problem to search the docs, for example if I search "multi" with version 7.0 and above I have several results in the suggest list and in the result page. For version 7.1 there's only one result in the suggest and 3 on the result page.

[https://www.elastic.co/search?fv-website\_area=documentation&fv-product\_name=Elasticsearch&fv-product\_version=7.1&q=multi&size=20](https://www.elastic.co/search?fv-website_area=documentation&fv-product_name=Elasticsearch&fv-product_version=7.1&q=multi&size=20)

Somebody forget to reindex the docs?

If you need some help to configure your elastic server you can post here: [https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch) 😅

It seems to be working for me. Was it empty for you?

I tracked this down to it's root cause. I'm not yet clear on how intentional it is. We intentionally made a change but I'm not sure it should have had such blast radius.

Now to search doc I search against version 7.0 then when I foudn the correct page I change the url to 7.1 (as typing current take more time).

Also maybe not related to the original problem but for example on this page:

> **[fields | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.16\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/multi-fields.html)**

if you click on the top link

> You are looking at preliminary documentation for a future release. Not what you want? See the [current release documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index.html).

You are redirected to top page which is not what I expect as the current version of the page exist:

> **[fields | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/multi-fields.html)**

Thanks again for your great work (you and all the team 😍) and help!
