 | Setting | Type | Description | Equivalent request parameter | Equivalent cluster setting |
 | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `search.default_search_timeout` | Time | Hard upper bound on search execution time. Applied only when the request does not already specify a `timeout`. Accepts a [time unit]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/common-parameters/#time-units) value, for example, `30s` or `1m`. | [`timeout`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/search-apis/search/) | [`search.default_search_timeout`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/configuring-opensearch/search-settings/) |
-| `search.cancel_after_time_interval` | Time | Time after which a search request is automatically canceled. Helps prevent runaway queries from consuming resources indefinitely. Accepts a time unit value. | [`cancel_after_time_interval`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/search-apis/search/) | [`search.cancel_after_time_interval`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/configuring-opensearch/search-settings/) |
+| `search.default_search_timeout` | Time | Per-shard limit on query execution. When a shard exceeds the limit, it stops collecting hits and returns its current results to the coordinating node, which may produce partial results. | [`timeout`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/search-apis/search/) | [`search.default_search_timeout`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/configuring-opensearch/search-settings/) |

-| `search.batched_reduce_size` | Integer | Number of shard results reduced at a time on the coordinating node. Lower values reduce coordinator heap pressure for high–shard-count searches. | [`batched_reduce_size`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/search-apis/search/) | -- |
-| `search.max_buckets` | Integer | Maximum number of aggregation buckets a request in this group may produce. Guards against excessive memory use from wide aggregations. When set, this value always takes precedence over the cluster-wide `search.max_buckets` setting. | -- | [`search.max_buckets`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/configuring-opensearch/search-settings/) |
+| `search.batched_reduce_size` | Integer | Number of shard results combined into one batch on the coordinating node before the final reduce. Lower values reduce coordinator memory usage when a search spans many shards. | [`batched_reduce_size`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/search-apis/search/) | -- |
