-By default, `dense_vector` fields are **not included in `_source`** in responses from the `_search`, `_msearch`, `_get`, and `_mget` APIs.
+By default, `sparse_vector` fields are **not included in `_source`** in responses from the `_search`, `_msearch`, `_get`, and `_mget` APIs.
 This helps reduce response size and improve performance, especially in scenarios where vectors are used solely for similarity scoring and not required in the output.
 
 To retrieve vector values explicitly, you can use:
