Bonjour Arnaud

Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

First, it's super urgent that you upgrade to 2.4 or better to 5.4. 1.x series is EOL'ed.

IMO that's a "bad" design. I mean that when you search for someone on Google, you don't have a complicated form to search. Just a box.  
I like the fact that the search engine is built to take care of relevancy and gives the best results first.

Anyway, I know it's sometime hard to get a consensus on that.

I gave a talk (en français) at Paris JUG a year ago IIRC and I ended up showing a demo. The script is here:

I hope this can help. Feel free also to join our #Discussions en français group if you prefer speaking french.
