[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b7d4217b0889ec6f7272df2d4e593e15837112c6a281ed00b64c7107ef57e2e3/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f626f7865642d636f64652f6c61726176656c2d73636f75742d656c61737469637365617263682f762f737461626c65)](https://packagist.org/packages/boxed-code/laravel-scout-elasticsearch)[![License](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/d905e931aab7744c90a3a789981f1181b5bdf4d6760a89ed875a68161591b804/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f626f7865642d636f64652f6c61726176656c2d73636f75742d656c61737469637365617263682f6c6963656e7365)](https://packagist.org/packages/boxed-code/laravel-scout-elasticsearch)[![Tests](https://github.com/boxed-code/laravel-scout-elasticsearch/actions/workflows/run_tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/boxed-code/laravel-scout-elasticsearch/actions/workflows/run_tests.yml)

A basic [elastic](https://www.elastic.co/products/elasticsearch) search backed driver [for Laravel Scout](https://laravel.com/docs/8.0/scout).

This driver has a simple configuration, requiring you to set the hostname of your elasticsearch node.

Note that this driver uses a separate index for each model type as elasticsearch mapping types have been deprecated in elasticsearch 6.0 and will be removed in 8.0, for more information see .

By default, the driver uses the `simple_query_string` full text parser with `and` as the default operator. More information on the functionality & syntax of this query format can be found [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-simple-query-string-query.html).

**Requires Scout ^8.0 or ^9.0 & PHP >=7.2**. Based on the original work of [ErickTamayo](https://github.com/ErickTamayo/laravel-scout-elastic)(Scout 5/6/7 & elastic search server 5.x are supported by versions of 1.x)

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require boxed-code/laravel-scout-elasticsearch
```

If you're using Laravel 5.4, you must add the Scout service provider and the package service provider in your app.php config:

```
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider::class,
    ...
    ScoutEngines\Elasticsearch\ElasticsearchProvider::class,
],
```

### Add the elastic search configuration

[](#add-the-elastic-search-configuration)

Add the following to your scout configuration:

```
// config/scout.php
// Set your driver to elasticsearch
    'driver' => env('SCOUT_DRIVER', 'elasticsearch'),

...
    'elasticsearch' => [
        'debug' => false,
        'hosts' => [
            env('ELASTICSEARCH_HOST', 'http://localhost'),
        ],
    ],
...
```

Upgrading from 1.x -> 2.x
----------------------------

[](#upgrading-from-1x---2x)

If you are upgrading from 1.x -> 2.x and are using an elastic server version < 7.x you will need to constrain the version of the base elastic driver used in your composer.json. For example if you're running 6.x:

```
composer require elasticsearch/elasticsearch:^6.0

```

\*\* Remember: When you upgrade your server version to 7.x you will need to remove the package or upgrade it to the 7.x driver. \*\*

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Now you can use Laravel Scout as described in the [official documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/scout)
