4313: Fix document formatting performances r=Kerollmops a=ManyTheFish
reduce the formatted option list to the attributes that should be formatted,
instead of all the attributes to display.
The time to compute the `format` list scales with the number of fields to format;
cumulated with `map_leaf_values` that iterates over all the nested fields, it gives a quadratic complexity:
`d*f` where `d` is the total number of fields to display and `f` is the total number of fields to format.

- DistributionShift in Search object (to be set from model in embed?)
- Fix issue where embedder index wasn't computed at search time
- Accept as default embedder either the "default" one, or the only embedder when there is only one
3866: Update charabia v0.8.0 r=dureuill a=ManyTheFish
# Pull Request
Update Charabia:
- enhance Japanese segmentation
- enhance Latin Tokenization
- words containing `_` are now properly segmented into several words
- brackets `{([])}` are no more considered as context separators so word separated by brackets are now considered near together for the proximity ranking rule
- fixes#3815
- fixes#3778
- fixes [product#151](https://github.com/meilisearch/product/discussions/151)
> Important note: now the float numbers are segmented around the `.` so `3.22` is segmented as [`3`, `.`, `22`] but the middle dot isn't considered as a hard separator, which means that if we search `3.22` we find documents containing `3.22`

3834: Define searchable fields at runtime r=Kerollmops a=ManyTheFish
## Summary
This feature allows the end-user to search in one or multiple attributes using the search parameter `attributesToSearchOn`:
```json
{
"q": "Captain Marvel",
"attributesToSearchOn": ["title"]
}
```
This feature act like a filter, forcing Meilisearch to only return the documents containing the requested words in the attributes-to-search-on. Note that, with the matching strategy `last`, Meilisearch will only ensure that the first word is in the attributes-to-search-on, but, the retrieved documents will be ordered taking into account the word contained in the attributes-to-search-on.
## Trying the prototype
A dedicated docker image has been released for this feature:
#### last prototype version:
```bash
docker pull getmeili/meilisearch:prototype-define-searchable-fields-at-search-time-1
```
#### others prototype versions:
```bash
docker pull getmeili/meilisearch:prototype-define-searchable-fields-at-search-time-0
```
## Technical Detail
The attributes-to-search-on list is given to the search context, then, the search context uses the `fid_word_docids`database using only the allowed field ids instead of the global `word_docids` database. This is the same for the prefix databases.
The database cache is updated with the merged values, meaning that the union of the field-id-database values is only made if the requested key is missing from the cache.
### Relevancy limits
Almost all ranking rules behave as expected when ordering the documents.
Only `proximity` could miss-order documents if all the searched words are in the restricted attribute but a better proximity is found in an ignored attribute in a document that should be ranked lower. I put below a failing test showing it:
```rust
#[actix_rt::test]
async fn proximity_ranking_rule_order() {
let server = Server::new().await;
let index = index_with_documents(
&server,
&json!([
{
"title": "Captain super mega cool. A Marvel story",
// Perfect distance between words in an ignored attribute
"desc": "Captain Marvel",
"id": "1",
},
{
"title": "Captain America from Marvel",
"desc": "a Shazam ersatz",
"id": "2",
}]),
)
.await;
// Document 2 should appear before document 1.
index
.search(json!({"q": "Captain Marvel", "attributesToSearchOn": ["title"], "attributesToRetrieve": ["id"]}), |response, code| {
assert_eq!(code, 200, "{}", response);
assert_eq!(
response["hits"],
json!([
{"id": "2"},
{"id": "1"},
])
);
})
.await;
}
```
Fixing this would force us to create a `fid_word_pair_proximity_docids` and a `fid_word_prefix_pair_proximity_docids` databases which may multiply the keys of `word_pair_proximity_docids` and `word_prefix_pair_proximity_docids` by the number of attributes in the searchable_attributes list. If we think we should fix this test, I'll suggest doing it in another PR.
