Full text functions can be used to match <<esql-multivalued-fields,multivalued fields>>.
A multivalued field that contains a value that matches a full text query is considered to match the query.

Full text functions are more performant for text search use cases than using pattern matching or regular expressions with `LIKE` or `RLIKE`.

Some mainly minor suggestions from me, thanks @carlosdelest!

"type" : "eval",
"name" : "match",
"description" : "Performs a <<query-dsl-match-query,match query>> on the specified field. Returns true if the provided query matches the row.",
"description" : "Use `MATCH` to perform a <<query-dsl-match-query,match query>> on the specified field.\nUsing `MATCH` is equivalent to using the `match` query in the Elasticsearch Query DSL.\n\nMatch can be used on text fields, as well as other field types like boolean, dates, and numeric types.\n\nFor a simplified syntax, you can use the <<esql-search-operators,match operator>> `:` operator instead of `MATCH`.\n\n`MATCH` returns true if the provided query matches the row.",
