With Search Power, you can improve search performance by adding more resources for querying, or you can reduce provisioned resources to cut costs. Choose from three Search Power settings:

**On-demand:** Autoscales based on data and search load, with a lower minimum baseline for resource use. This flexibility results in more variable query latency and reduced maximum throughput.

**Performant:** Delivers consistently low latency and autoscales to accommodate moderately high query throughput.

**High-throughput:** Optimized for high-throughput scenarios, autoscaling to maintain query latency even at very high query volumes.
| {{es}} | | **Search Boost Window** | Non-time series data is always considered search-ready. The **Search Boost Window** determines the volume of time series project data that will be considered search-ready.

Increasing the window results in a bigger portion of time series project data included in the total search-ready data volume.
| {{es}} | -| **Data Retention** | Data retention policies determine how long your project data is retained.
In {{serverless-full}} data retention policies are configured through [data streams](../../../manage-data/lifecycle/data-stream.md) and you can specify different retention periods for specific data streams in your project.

{{elastic-sec}} has to additional configuration settings that can be configured to manage your data retention.

**Maximum data retention period**

When enabled, this setting determines the maximum length of time that data can be retained in any data streams of this project.

Editing this setting replaces the data retention set for all data streams of the project that have a longer data retention defined. Data older than the new maximum retention period that you set is permanently deleted.

**Default data retention period**

When enabled, this setting determines the default retention period that is automatically applied to all data streams in your project that do not have a custom retention period already set.
