   `xpack.ml.enabled: false`
 - **ICU Analysis Plugin (recommended)** [installation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-icu.html#analysis-icu) Adds support for number sorting in texts and solves other language sorting nuances. This option is activated by setting the env var USE_ELASTIC_ICU=true before running the server (defaults to false/unset).
