I don't know, either. Annotator doesn't use the raw search API. We're using
it on our backend for Hypothes.is a little bit, but not from the client.

I've been thinking about deprecating it here because I don't like exposing
the raw Elasticsearch API, since it's probably possible to construct very
expensive queries that I'd rather not have to sanitize.
