Hi ! i'm begginer with big data search engines... I only have experience
with mysql.
But in my work we need to do new project, and use big data database.
We need:
- full text search
- synonyms
- related search
- fast and scalable
So , I found elasticsearch ... but I don't know how start ... I've download
the package, but in the guides I didn't found how start to configure, load
data, etc.
best regards !

I think that the [elasticsearch.org](http://elasticsearch.org) front page explains all the basics you need to know to start.
What is your problem?
Starting a node?
Indexing a doc?
Searching ?
What language do you plan to use (java, php, ruby,...) ?

Hi ! For example, I run elasticsearch and [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) works fine.
I can put data and get data from this example:
[http://www.elasticsearchtutorial.com/elasticsearch-in-5-minutes.html](http://www.elasticsearchtutorial.com/elasticsearch-in-5-minutes.html)
but, for example i dont understand how configure the "settings" , for
example to use synonyms ...
how search text in all "columns" ...
best regards !

Search in all is [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/query-string-query.html)
To use synonyms, you need to define a mapping for your fields :
- [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-put-mapping.html)
- [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/core-types.html)
Synonyms are used in an analyzer : [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/)
It's a token filter that replace one word to another at index time (and query time): [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/synonym-tokenfilter.html)
Does it help?

point 1 - PERFECT !
the other ... synonym ...
i don't understand how it works ... and the settings of analyzers where
go...
i need to put the synonym with \_mapping in every query ?
sorry, but for me , the documentation is not very clear ☹

Mapping is the definition of how ES will index your docs.
If you don't give one, ES auto guess the mapping with default settings (english language analyzer for example).
You define mapping once before sending your first doc.
One advice. Send your first doc and then get its mapping: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-get-mapping.html)
Then, delete your type: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-delete-mapping.html)
Modify the mapping you get just before and adapt it to your needs.
Then, put it in ES: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-put-mapping.html)
If you need to define your own analyzer, you will have to define it AT FIRST, when creating your index: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-create-index.html)
See also: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/custom-analyzer.html)
To test it, I recommand the Analyze API: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-analyze.html)
BTW, with which language are you going to use ES?

Thanks, but without examples I can't understand very well.
I speak spanish ...
I use PHP , and the searchs prefered are in latin.
Do you have any example of complete setup or step by step ?
