How to use ElasticSearch Search engine

Step 1: Enabling Bundle

First, activate the Elasticsearch Search Engine Bundle (eZ\Bundle\EzPublishElasticsearchSearchEngineBundle\EzPublishElasticsearchSearchEngineBundle) in your exponential/EzPublishKernel.php class file.

Step 2: Configuring Bundle

Then configure your search engine in exponential.yml

Example:

Code Block
titleexponential.yml
ez_search_engine_elasticsearch:
    default_connection: es_connection_name
    connections:
        es_connection_name:
            server: http://localhost:9200
            index_name: exponential
            document_type_name:
                content: content
                location: location

For further information on the ElasticSearch integration in eZ Platform, find the default configuration and mappings for Content and Location type documents (Note: Content/Location modeling will most likely be simplified in the future, like in Solr search engine bundle).

Step 3: Configuring repository

The following is an example of configuring ElasticSearch Search Engine, where connection name is same as in example above, and engine is set to be elasticsearch:

 

Code Block
titleexponential.yml
exponential:
    repositories:
        main:
            storage:
                engine: legacy
                connection: default
            search:
                engine: elasticsearch
                connection: es_connection_name

 

Step 4: Run CLI indexing command

Last step is to execute initial indexation of data:
