Elasticsearch is a standalone database search server based on Apache Lucene. Written in Java, it offers a distributed, full-text search engine that can integrate into real-time searches, product experiences and business analytics. Essentially, it is a tool for querying written text.
At the core of this intelligent search engine lies Lucene. Elasticsearch is developed around Lucene’s Java libraries. From the actual algorithms to match text to storing optimized indexes of search terms, all is implemented by Lucene. However, it is not easy for direct use. Elasticsearch supports multitenancy, offers an intuitive API, scalability and operational tools which complement Lucene’s search implementation.
Elasticsearch fits in well with many use cases. For example, when looking for a specific phrase match in product descriptions or auto-completion of incomplete/misspelled words. It is a great solution to wade through semi-structured text which is natural language. It also supports real-time GET requests which makes it a perfect NoSQL Solution. However, it is not suitable for problems where relational databases are optimized. Elasticsearch also boasts of a great ecosystem with a wide range if plugins and analyzers available from the community.
So, if you are a social company looking for a search tool which filters product by finding similar text or a content company searching through blog posts, elasticsearch is for you. It is ideal for enterprises in the retail, education and media sectors. Elasticsearch can be integrated with web portals, doucment management systems and enterprise content management systems. It will help your business create new revenue streams, improve application functionalities, increase customer engagement and reduce costs. This powerful tool is already employed by leading companies such as Wikimedia, Quora, Foursquare, Github, SoundCloud, XING and Mozilla, among others.
