 `discover:sort:defaultOrder`:: Controls the default sort direction for time based index patterns in the Discover app.
 `doc_table:highlight`:: Highlight results in Discover and Saved Searches Dashboard. Highlighting makes request slow when
 working on big documents. Set this property to `false` to disable highlighting.
-`courier:maxSegmentCount`:: Kibana splits requests in the Discover app into segments to limit the size of requests sent to
-the Elasticsearch cluster. This setting constrains the length of the segment list. Long segment lists can significantly
-increase request processing time.
 `courier:ignoreFilterIfFieldNotInIndex`:: Set this property to `true` to skip filters that apply to fields that don't exist in a visualization's index. Useful when dashboards consist of visualizations from multiple index patterns.
 `fields:popularLimit`:: This setting governs how many of the top most popular fields are shown.
 `histogram:barTarget`:: When date histograms use the `auto` interval, Kibana attempts to generate this number of bars.
