Summary

Updated documentation for Intelligent Search feature, adding details about AI-powered natural language search, administrator enablement requirements, and user configuration steps.

Security assessment

The changes describe feature functionality (AI-powered search) and administrative controls for enabling it, but there's no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability or weakness. The note about administrator enablement relates to feature access rather than security hardening.
