 === Elasticsearch Overview ===
-The iDigBio API does not currently (yet!) provide query/search capabilities. For those who want programmatic search rather than a browser-based Search interface, iDigBio provides a public-facing interface to the back-end Elasticsearch system. This is the same interface that is used by the iDigBio Portal search but allows experienced programmers to search for data in ways beyond what is provided by the Portal.
+The iDigBio API query/search capabilities are currently in beta testing. At present we also provide a public-facing interface to the back-end Elasticsearch system. This is the same interface that is used by the iDigBio Portal search but allows experienced programmers to search for data in ways beyond what is provided by the Portal.
 '''Note: Direct queries to the iDigBio Elasticsearch service should be considered an Advanced operation.'''
