How to Get Elasticsearch Indexed data to App Search

[sanju1323 (Sanjay Reddy)]

Hi Team,

We have an Elasticsearch Cluster deployed in our local and we have huge amount of data in it.
Now we want to use the App Search Functionalities on the existing Elasticsearch indices.
But I can see we can only index the data to App Search using Documents or APIs.
Please let me know if there is a way to use the App Search (create an engine) on top of Elasticsearch Indices.

Thanks,
Dharma Sanjay Reddy

Hi Sanjay -

There is no direct route for adding already data that is already in an Elasticsearch index directly into App Search. The easiest way would be to write a piece of code to pull data from the Elasticsearch index and push the data into App Search via the APIs.

You can either write your own code to do this, or, use the Elasticsearch and App Search clients, which come in a variety of languages:

• Elasticsearch Clients: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html
• App Search Clients: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/programming-language-clients.html
