Hi there, don't know how to remove this warning:

- DeprecationWarning: The 'body' parameter is deprecated for the 'search' API and will be removed in a future version. Instead use API parameters directly.

The following code produces the error:

```auto
# define the Elasticsearch query using HNSW ANN and BM25
    es_query = {
      "query": {
        "match": {
          "content": {
            "query": query,
            "boost": 0.5
          }
        }
      },
      "knn": {
        "field": "embeddings",
        "query_vector": query_vector,
        "k": k,
        "num_candidates": 60,
        "boost": 0.5
      },
      "size": k * 2
    }

    # execute the Elasticsearch query
    results = es.search(
        index=idx_name,
        request_timeout=30,
        body=es_query,
        explain=True
    )

```

I am not in expert in the python client, but looking at the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/python-api/current/examples.html#ex-search) you need to use `query` parameter instead of `body`.
