+    "We strongly recommend reindexing your App Search engine data into a new index, rather than reusing the existing Elasticsearch index. This allows you to update the mapping to take advantage of modern features like semantic search and the newly created Elasticsearch synonym set.\n",

     "We can take a closer look at how App Search field types are mapped to Elasticsearch fields, by using the [`GET mapping API`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-get-mapping.html).\n",
     "For App Search engines, the associated Elasticsearch index name is `.ent-search-engine-documents-[ENGINE_NAME]`, e.g. `.ent-search-engine-documents-national-parks-demo` for the App Search sample engine `national-parks-demo`.\n",
     "One thing to notice is how App Search uses [multi-fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/multi-fields.html) in Elasticsearch that allow for quickly changing the field type in App Search without requiring reindexing by creating subfields for each type of supported field:\n",
