TLDR Mubashirullah had issues getting the 'id' field from their schema, which Kishore Nallan explained was due to it being a special identifier in TS 0.22. They recommended creating a 'searchable_id' field.

11:57 AMWhat type do you recommend for id? I've read something about it needs to be a string.
Also, I don't seem to be getting as much results. I can't seem to understand why that is.
