Hi all!

Complete noob here.. I'm looking to learn more about Elasticsearch and would appreciate any guidance in setting up the following:

  • How would I set up an Elasticsearch index from a json file with 2-3 million objects to search through
  • How to search the index from a search box on my website
  • How to set up autocomplete to use from the search box

What do you all recommend?

Thanks!

The easiest way is probably to use the SaaS offer named app search: Search Applications - Search API & Toolkit for Developers | Elastic

  • How would I set up an Elasticsearch index from a json file with 2-3 million objects to search through

Probably with all default settings. That's actually what I'm doing locally on my laptop.

  • How to search the index from a search box on my website

I'd recommend reading this although it's a bit old. Getting Started | Elasticsearch: The Definitive Guide [2.x] | Elastic

  • How to set up autocomplete to use from the search box

Look at completion suggester. See Completion Suggester | Elasticsearch Guide [6.6] | Elastic
