Note that Marko Bekhta already started the renaming in https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search/pull/3384/files# / https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-4620 by renaming the “automatic indexing synchronization strategy” to “indexing plan synchronization strategy”.

However, there’s still documentation that needs to be reorganized (to refer to indexing plans rather than automatic indexing) and a bunch of concepts that need to be renaming (automatic_indexing.enabled, automatic_indexing.enable_dirty_checks, …).

By the way, automatic_indexing.enable_dirty_checks is rather broken (it’s true by default and setting it to false just removes a bunch of essential features), so we might want to deprecate it without replacement/renaming, for removal in Search 8.
