VIP Platform Changelog

We are replacing Enterprise Search documentation placed in the code repository with a link to our public documentation to avoid issues with keeping them in sync.

When working on a new index version it is often useful to be able to run a search against the inactive version before making it active.

This change introduces support for vip_search_<indexable>_version query parameter. Using this will let the user choose against which version of index is query ran.

As an example in a scenario where we have version 1 – active we can search against version 2 by visiting:

https://my.site.com/?s=<search-term>&&vip_search_post_version=2

The parameter also supports aliases active, next and previous.

There is an async queue for indexing in VIP search. This queue is used primarily on bulk operations over items (e.g. posts). This change enables the processing of this queue to run up to 5 instances concurrently. This will lead to having faster time for processing a bulk change of a large volume of documents.
