 **DIFFERENT HERE**: ```minimum_input_length```,  ```dependencies``` and ```include_all_form_fields```.
 
-Note: if you are going to use `include_all_form_fields` we recommend you to set the method to `POST`, and to properly setup that in your routes. Since all the fields in the form are going to be sent in the request, `POST` support more data.
+**`include_all_form_fields`** controls what gets sent in the AJAX request alongside the search term. It accepts three values:
+
+| Value | What gets sent |
+|---|---|
+| `false` (default for `select2_from_ajax`, `select2_from_ajax_multiple`) | Nothing extra — unless `dependencies` are set, in which case only the dependency field values are sent |
+| `true` (default for `relationship`/fetch fields) | All form fields are serialised and sent |
+| `['field_a', 'field_b']` | Only the listed fields are sent. Any fields listed in `dependencies` are automatically merged in, even if they are not in the array — so dependency values are never accidentally dropped |
+
+Note: whenever `include_all_form_fields` is `true` or an array, we recommend setting `'method' => 'POST'` and registering a POST route. GET requests have URL-length limits that can truncate a large form payload.
 
 2. That second select points to routes that need to be registered:
