 === Reduce the number of index segments
 
 {es} shards are composed of segments, which are internal storage elements in
-the index. For approximate kNN search, {es} stores the dense vector values of
-each segment as an HNSW graph. kNN search must check each segment, searching
-through one HNSW graph after another. This means kNN search can be

+The recent parallelization of kNN search made it much faster to search across

 merges smaller segments into larger ones through a background
 <<index-modules-merge, merge process>>. If this isn't sufficient, you can take
 explicit steps to reduce the number of index segments.
