 OpenSearch is a distributed system in which data is spread across multiple nodes. Thus, running a SQL-like JOIN operation in OpenSearch is resource intensive. As an alternative, OpenSearch provides the following queries that perform join operations and are optimized for scaling across multiple nodes:
 
 
-- Queries to search [nested]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/field-types/supported-field-types/nested/) fields:
+- Queries for searching [nested]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/field-types/supported-field-types/nested/) fields:
     - `nested` queries: Act as wrappers for other queries to search [nested]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/field-types/supported-field-types/nested/) fields. The nested field objects are searched as though they were indexed as separate documents.
-- Queries to search documents connected by a [join]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/field-types/supported-field-types/join/) field type, which establishes a parent/child relationship between documents in the same index:

     - [`has_child`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/query-dsl/joining/has-child/) queries: Search for parent documents whose child documents match the query.
