+.It Cm SearchRequests
+This option configures if the proxy should make additional HTTP requests to the
+server when clients use the search API endpoint. Some data that is required to
+fill out a complete search response is only available on the Homeserver (e.g.
+start/end tokens for the event context or room state at a particular point in

+will make additional HTTP requests to fetch the unavailable data from the
+Homeserver, note that this will make the search much slower. If this is set to
+"Off"
+.Nm pantalaimon
+will not make any additional HTTP requests and will leave some data fields in
+the search response empty. Defaults to "Off".
