Discover, search (e.g. data plugin and KQL), data views, saved searches. For ES|QL, use Team:ES|QL.
When a data view hits a large number of indices, the field conflict data can be very large due to list of which index corresponds to which field type. This is potentially costly wherever there's network communication, from the browser receiving the file to inter node communication between ES servers to create the response.
In most cases, we're not interested in this information and its not displayed. fields_for_wildcard should accept a param that tosses the index lists. Ideally this could be passed through to field_caps as well.
