+ - For **Write Buffer Idle**, enter a value for the maximum number of writers
+ (segments) cached in the pool. To disable, use `0`.
+ - For **Write Buffer Active**, enter a value for the maximum number of
+ concurrent active writers (segments) that perform a transaction. To disable,
+ use `0`.
+ - For **Write Buffer Size Max**, enter a value for the maximum memory byte size
+ per writer (segment) before a writer (segment) flush is triggered. Use `0` to
+ turn off this limit for any writer.

+inverted indexes from your collections that you could otherwise do via the HTTP
+or JavaScript API.
+
+When opening your newly created View, you can copy mutable properties from
+previously created `search-alias` Views, providing a convenient way to apply
+the same settings to multiple Views. In addition, the JSON editor offers the
+option to directly write the definition of your View in JSON format.
