Description

    As indicated here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/removal-of-types.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/removal-of-types.html) the parameter "include_type_name" is deprecated since Elasticsearch version 7.x and was removed in version 8.x

So in fact, Nextcloud is incompatible with the current version 8.x of Elasticsearch.

What are the plans regarding this issue? Especially, since version 7.x of Elastic was release in April 2019, so the issue is known already quite a while...

Is there something plan to edit this error ?

Research direction

Start by locating the Elasticsearch integration and every use of the include_type_name parameter; compare those calls with Elasticsearch 8 requirements. The issue names no file, entry point, or test, so first identify the relevant code and compatibility coverage. Done means full-text search works with Elasticsearch 8 without using the removed parameter.
