 When using [quantized vectors](elasticsearch://reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/dense-vector.md#dense-vector-quantization) for kNN search, you can optionally rescore results to balance performance and accuracy, by doing:
 
-* **Oversampling**: Retrieve more candidates per shard.
+* **Oversampling**: Retrieve more candidates per shard. Starting in `9.1.0`, the default oversampling factor is 3, but only for the `bbq` quantization method. Other quantization methods must explicitly specify an oversample value either in the field mapping or at query time.
 * **Rescoring**: Use the original vector values for re-calculating the score on the oversampled candidates.
 
 As the non-quantized, original vectors are used to calculate the final score on the top results, rescoring combines:

 * `int8` requires minimal if any rescoring
 * `int4` requires some rescoring for higher accuracy and larger recall scenarios. Generally, oversampling by 1.5x-2x recovers most of the accuracy loss.
-* `bbq` requires rescoring except on exceptionally large indices or models specifically designed for quantization. We have found that between 3x-5x oversampling is generally sufficient. But for fewer dimensions or vectors that do not quantize well, higher oversampling may be required.

But for fewer dimensions or vectors that do not quantize well, higher oversampling may be required. As noted above, we default to an oversampling factor of `3.0`.
 
 You can use the `rescore_vector` [preview] option to automatically perform reranking. When a rescore `oversample` parameter is specified, the approximate kNN search will:
