Summary

Fixes #6449 and adds the following:

  • On deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/differences-from-other-elasticsearch-offerings.md, updates the existing Custom plugins and bundles row, but instead of updating the Notes column as suggested in the issue, I've used some of the pattern from the Network security row ( which includes a parallel itemized lists in both deployment columns with per-item). The Serverless row now clarifies the options that are available and the ones that are not. Also, added info in the Notes column for the synonyms API. Since we already have a Synonyms row, I've updated that with the link to the Synonyms API. I wonder if we should be linking to the Serverless API docs for the synonym endpoint instead of the Elasticsearch API docs?

  • On deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/upload-custom-plugins-bundles.md, I've added a new note to directing Serverless users to the synonym API for synonym management.

Also closes #551

Somewhat related to #1075

Used the Auto agent mode in Cursor to find other pages that describe language-specific text analysis capabilities in Elasticsearch and compare that with the Serverless guidance I've added (to make sure no contradictions exist in the docset).

I tried listing all the differences in the Notes section of the plugins row, and this is what it looks like. IMO, it didn't make the distinction clear enough at-a-glance (someone pay perceive the checkmark covers everything):

This is what the preview looks like now:
