NEWBIE: Choosing right solution for document indexing

Elastic Search
1

Hi,
I like to use elasticsearch for indexing word documents.
Now I research what is the best enviroment for setup.

What I need is one node for each language of docs.
A simple web interface for searching would be also nice.
No need for any diagram, evaluation etc..

A couple of years ago I setup a similar solution with Cerebro for adding nodes but if I'm right there's no current version for elasticsearch 8.15 ?

Can you recommend please what tools you would prefer for?
OS is Windows Server 2019.

Thank you,
Andre

Why would you need that? A single node can easily handle documents with different languages. You can have specific fields per language in a single index or even separate indices per language if you feel that is better.

This is of course an advantage. So in this case one node is fine. Thank you.

The reason to go to 3 nodes (not 2) would be if you want resiliency and high availability as the cluster can continue operating even of one of the nodes go down.

What I'm looking for is a more comfortable solution than Windows indexer.
Currently I open the document folder (seperated by language) and start typing so indexer search.
The issue is that while typing sometimes chars skipped / ignored and sometimes indexer hangs reporting no / wrong results.

So availbility is fine but if I need to restart it's not a big topics.
