 - Fixed exception for case when Hybrid query being wrapped into bool query ([#490](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/490))
 - Hybrid query and nested type fields ([#498](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/498))
 - Fix typo for sparse encoding processor factory([#578](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/578))
+- Add non-null check for queryBuilder in NeuralQueryEnricherProcessor ([#615](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/615))
