Summary

Adds documentation for the new EnableSearchPublicChannelsWithoutMembership Elasticsearch setting introduced in Mattermost v11.6. This feature allows users to search for messages in public channels they haven't joined, scoped to teams they belong to.

Changes:

  • Environment configuration settings: Added new config:setting entry for EnableSearchPublicChannelsWithoutMembership with description, default value, backfill behavior note, and compliance mode interaction
  • Search for messages guide: Added a new section explaining that search results can include messages from public channels users haven't joined when enabled
  • Enterprise search limitations: Updated the channel membership limitation note to mention the new setting as an exception
