 [ Permalink  ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/plugin-updated-enterprise-search-34/)

We’ve implemented a timeout on Elasticsearch queries, it matches the Enterprise 
Search client timeout so there’s not going to be a difference in terms of behavior.
It’s meant as a safety mechanism to prevent runaway queries after the client has
already disconnected.

A Change has been made which will force the us of the "–skip-delete" flag when the
WP CLI "media regenerate" command is run. This will prevent the media regenerate
command from inadvertently deleting original images in the VIP file system.

**Deployments**

We’ve improved the UI of the deployments list page. Also, now it is possible to 
see the ongoing deployments along with the build logs.

**User Management**

We’ve made some improvements to the Invitation dialog to make it clear which organization
you’re creating the invitation for. We’ve also fixed a bug that was showing two 
sets of buttons when editing permissions.

any cached requests will not use stale data.

We have introduced a graceful fallback in case of a request to Enterprise Search
backend fails. We would serve a previously-stored stale response (up to 5 minutes).

Additionally, only `query` requests are counted against the fail counter that blocks
subsequent remote requests in case of a failure (via vip_safe_wp_remote_request).

it may or may not be populated.

caches the available months/years for the dropdown filter.
