How to set case_insensitive for term query in elasticsearch?

In elasticsearch term query documentation: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-term-query.html, it is stated there's a case_insensitive field

However, I can't get to set it. I can set boost and value without issue, but not case_insensitive.

GET movies/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "overview": {
        "value" : "batman",
        "boost": 0.5,
        "case-insensitive": true
      }
    }
  }
}

When I run, I get the error state "[term] query does not support [case_insensitive]".

Where did I get it wrong, or the documentation is wrong?

Looks like you are on less than the ES 7.10.0 version where it was not present, Even if you check the documentation of ES 7.9 option of case_insensitive is not present.

Please find the related link of Github issue and PR which added support of case-insensitive to term query.

Please refer to this diff where caseInsensitive field was added to TermQuery.
