Quick searching made easy

What do you like best? The easy installation, easy of searching out of the box. What do you dislike? querying is not easy. If you want to understand the underlaying querying, analyzers and tokenizer, it should take you some time. This is not trivial. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you want to enable searching capabilities to your apps, elastic is easy to setup, and if you want the standard out of the box capabilities - you should be ok. If you need more ...

Flexible, easy to use and powerful

What do you like best? Elasticsearch is an amazing search engine. Its architecture is simple and very, believe me, very easy to setup using any configuration management system such as Chef or Puppet. The "auto discovery" is another strong point. It makes your node cluster much more resilient to failures and make it much more flexible as well. You can easily replace nodes on the fly for maintenance or even for increase / decrease your search infrastructure. I would also highlight ...

A scalable and easy to use search solution

What do you like best? It's lightning fast to answer a query, it's distributed by default and has hundreds of plugins and addons to play with, you don't need to be an expert to get it up and running. One of the things I really love is how easy it is to set up replication, it autodiscovers other clusters automatically and mirrors the data. Also, if used with the "head" plugin, you can monitor the health of your cluster and your indexes in real time and make queries in an easy way ...

The best search engine

What do you like best? Easy to setup. Easy to insert data. Easy to query data (at the beginning. Very nice web API. What do you dislike? The documentation is sometimes not very clear to request parameters and perhaps users will re-index their data before obtaining the best search result. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Problem : get a complete view of all the informations of customers. The data are scattered across ...
