How can I index and perform search operations on the contents of a website of a given web link like [discuss.elastic.co](https://discuss.elastic.co) using Java 1.8 and Elasticsearch 7.12.0?

I think you already asked for a similar question at [Is Elasticsearch webcrawler an open source feature or it is paid?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/is-elasticsearch-webcrawler-an-open-source-feature-or-it-is-paid/304789).

I believe it would be better to keep the discussion in one place.
