+	 * then creating a distinct list if more then one index was targeted.
+	 *
+	 * This PR also updated the routine in the serializer to omit the index name from each item if the index is
+	 * already specified on the url in case of multiple indices
+	 *
+	 * This updated routine in the `7.6.0` could throw if you are calling:
+	 *
+	 * client.GetMany<T>(ids, "indexName");
+	 *
+	 * Without configuring `ConnectionSettings()` with either a default index for T or a global default index.
