 * `Extractions` (string, required): This specifies the field or fields (comma-separated) to be extracted from the JSON. Given an input of `{"foo":"a", "bar":2, "baz":{"frog": "womble"}}`, you could specify `Extractions=foo`, `Extractions=foo,bar`, `Extractions=baz.frog,foo`, etc.
 * `Force-JSON-Object` (boolean, optional): By default, if a single extraction is specified the preprocessor will replace the entry contents with the contents of that extension; thus selecting `Extraction=foo` will change an entry containing `{"foo":"a", "bar":2, "baz":{"frog": "womble"}}` to simply contain `a`. If this option is set, the preprocessor will always output a full JSON structure, e.g. `{"foo":"a"}`.
-* `Drop-Misses` (boolean, optional): If set to true, the preprocessor will drop entries for which it was unable to extract the requested fields. By default, these entries are passed.
+* `Drop-Misses` (boolean, optional): If set to true, the preprocessor will drop entries for which it was unable to extract any of the requested fields. By default, these entries are passed if any field is extracted.
 * `Strict-Extraction` (boolean, optional): By default, the preprocessor will pass along an entry if at least one of the extractions succeeds. If this parameter is set to true, it will require that all extractions succeed.
