Hi,

Is there any plan to draft chapters Introduction and Concepts of the  
guide, I think it would be very interesting for people like me who is  
starting in this world of real-time search?

Thanks,

What are your specific questions? How real time search works or how to  
get it working?

[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/) -\> with search functionality

For the real time thing google 'real time lucene' e.g.

(the latter one is NOT included in a lucene release yet but shows  
which problems you might have compared to normal search. Maybe not  
relevant for a beginner, so please ask more specific questions ;))

Yes, there are certainly plans to do it, high on the agenda are analysis, distributed architecture, optimizations (indexing and searching).
