Search replaces the native Flarum search functionality which relies on MySQL badly performing fulltext search with one that is completely relying on the proven elasticsearch engine.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Sync discussions to elastic search using your queue, unobtrusively for the user.
- Reduces search loading times to well below 400ms (local tests with 50.000 discussion **260ms**)
- Uses Flarum's group permissions and tags system.
- Compatible with Friends of Flarum Byōbu.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use composer:

```
composer require blomstra/search:*
```

Enable the extension inside the admin area and configure the settings.

### Set up

[](#set-up)

Enable the extension in your admin area. Now to seed your existing discussions use the following command:

All mutations to discussions are automatically added and removed from the elasticsearch index.
