- search_power integer | null
  
  Controls how fast searches are against your project data. When ingested, a certain amount of data is loaded into a cache that makes it super fast to query. You can either increase the performance of searches on cached data by adding replicas, or reduce the quantity of cached data by a static factor to save on costs. It can be passed as null to reset the Search Power to the default value.
  
  Minimum value is 28, maximum value is 3000.
- boost_window integer | null
  
  Determines how much data can benefit from faster search. When ingested, a certain amount of data is loaded into a cache that makes it super fast to query. The system dynamically adjusts the cache allocated to your project based on how much data you ingest during the period defined by your Search Boost Window. It can be passed as null to reset the Search Boost Window to the default value.
  
  Minimum value is 1, maximum value is 180.
