+## Excluding indexes from top N queries
+
+You can exclude search queries from the top N query list based on the indexes they target. This is useful when certain indexes are known to have long-running queries and don't need to be monitored.
+
+A query is excluded if it searches any shard that belongs to an index listed in `excluded_indices`.
+
+By default, this setting is `null` (all indexes are included). To exclude specific indexes, provide a comma-separated list of index names in the `search.insights.top_queries.excluded_indices` setting:
+
+```json
+PUT _cluster/settings
+{
+  "persistent" : {
+    "search.insights.top_queries.excluded_indices" : "index-1,index-2,index-3"
+  }
+}
+```
