Hello,

Mongodb offers basic text search capability. As our app is growing, it  
is time to upgrade to a search server.

I have been digging around for a while.

How to get started with ES for basic search capability (and newbie)  
given we are using Lift and Mongodb?

Many thanks!

Then try to integrate either via river or bulk api. Also have a look  
into [https://github.com/Aconex/scrutineer](https://github.com/Aconex/scrutineer) ... surely it does not work  
with MongoDB as far as I know, but the concepts used there might be  
worth to be investigated.
