+### Search: Changes to custom searchables
+
+Searchables should now return collections of references (eg. `entry::the-entry-id`) instead of objects.
+
+```php
+return Thing::query()->lazy(); // [tl! remove]
+return Thing::query()->lazy()->pluck('reference'); // [tl! add]
+```
+
+If your searchable allows for it, you may want to consider adding support for query scopes, which we now recommend over filtering.
+
+```php
+$query = Thing::query();
+
+$this->applyQueryScope($query);
+
+return $query->pluck('reference');
+```
+
+If you support filtering, you may want to split the "with filter" & "without filter" cases into separate return statements.
+
+The `->filter()` method evaluates every item in the collection, which is an unnecessary performance hit when no filter is configured:
+
+```php
+$query = Thing::query();
+
+if ($this->hasFilter()) {
+	return $query
+		->lazy(config('statamic.search.chunk_size'))  
+		->filter($this->filter())  
+		->values()  
+		->map->reference();
+}
+
+return $query->pluck('reference');
+```
+
+### Search: Changes to custom search drivers
+
+The `insertDocument` method is now public:
+
+```php
+protected function insertDocuments(Documents $documents) // [tl! remove]
+public function insertDocuments(Documents $documents) // [tl! add]
+```
+
+If you were previously overriding the `insertMultiple` method to chunk documents, you don't need to do that anymore (chunking is now handled by the base method).
+
+If you need to manipulate the fields array before it gets sent to your index, you may define a `fields` method:
+
+```php
+public function fields(Searchable $searchable)
+{
+    return array_merge(
+        $this->searchables()->fields($searchable),
+        [
+            '_some_special_field_' => $searchable->id(),
+        ]
+    );
+}
+```
+
