Hello everyone,
I'm working on Cakephp and Elasticsearch and I'm trying to find some example of how to display index information using cakephp.
I know that there is an official Cakephp plugin called Elasticsearch but the documentation ([https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/elasticsearch.html](https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/elasticsearch.html)) is difficul for a newbie about how to use it.
If someone have already done it before I would be very grateful if he could give me some tips.
Thanks

Have you tried using [Elastica PHP](http://elastica.io) ?

I didn't know this php client, I will take a look on this client.

However I'm always interested about simple tutorial/example of how to use the Cakephp elasticsearch plugin

Looking at [https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/elasticsearch.html#searching-indexed-documents](https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/elasticsearch.html#searching-indexed-documents)
This section of the page has provided good examples on how to index data but this above link shows how to search the data.
I would recommend that once you have a grasp of Elasticsearch then it may aid in the understanding of the above: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/\_index\_and\_query\_a\_document.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_index_and_query_a_document.html)
