Hi Jebu, Inline fields are a partially implemented feature that we hope to expose soon, but are currently not supported. The basic idea, once released, is that marking a field in your schema as inline changes the way that field is stored in the index, allowing you to use the inline field to quickly filter results at the expense of a larger index.
A good use case for this is a low cardinality field like "gender". Indexing on gender is useless, since roughly 50% will be male and 50% will be female. If you define gender as an inline field, Search will store the gender as a property in the index for other fields, and then rewrite the query appropriately. This is an advanced feature, but one that could lead to significant query performance boosts depending on the data model. Again, inline fields are not yet supported, but this is the general idea.
