Elastic Search Version: 8.11.0 I am trying to build a natural language search with a programming questions dataset and tried with the ELSER model of elastic first where text expansion query was performed with embeddings on all the core aspects of a record (type, tags, name, statement, difficulty) but we didn't get expected results with that. An example of expected queries is "Show me coding questions with x,y concepts" and the result will be the filtered records. Can someone share what approaches can be tried for this? Any insights or recommendations from those who have implemented NL-based search over structured datasets would be greatly appreciated! ---
