[Samba] Spotlight issues

So I have two issues.

1) Using Samba 4.19.2 with spotlight and elasticsearch 8.10.3 doesn’t work.

Errors:

[2023/10/22 09:04:17,  0] ../../source3/rpc_server/mdssvc/mdssvc_es.c:755(mds_es_search_http_read_done)  mds_es_search_http_read_done: json_loadb failed

2) Using Samba 4.19.2 with spotlight and elasticsearch 7.17.10 works.

There is a bug where when the samba server is running and files are being indexed while samba is running finder will return results correctly in the quick search bar when searched with individual files listed.

However, when you restart smb/smbd services finder no longer returns search results using this method (sometimes it shows folders, sometimes it shows nothing).

Files can still be searched in finder by opening up the advanced search results with the plus icon and selecting contents. But they can no longer be searched from the quick search bar without doing this.
