102+ ====
103+ Use the {ecs-ref}[Elastic Common Schema (ECS)] when mapping your fields. ECS
104+ fields integrate with several {stack} features by default.
105+
106+ If you're unsure how to map your fields, use <<runtime-search-request,runtime
107+ fields>> to extract fields from <<mapping-unstructured-content,unstructured
108+ content>> at search time. For example, you can index a log message to a
109+ `wildcard` field and later extract IP addresses and other data from this field
110+ during a search.
