An Elasticsearch integration for Elgg
=====================================

[](#an-elasticsearch-integration-for-elgg)

This plugin adds full-text search capabilities to your Elgg installation, allowing you to search through entities and annotations (in ELGG 1.8).

Installation and configuration
------------------------------

[](#installation-and-configuration)

1. Install the plugin (and it's dependencies) by running:

    ```
     composer require pleio/elasticsearch

    ```
2. Add the following configuration to engine/settings.php:

    ```
     $CONFIG->elasticsearch = array(
         'hosts' => array(
             '127.0.0.1'
         )
     );

     $CONFIG->elasticsearch_index = 'pleio-dev';

    ```
3. Activate the plugin through the Elgg admin panel.
4. Create the index and mappings in Elasticsearch by running:

    ```
     php console.php es:index:reset

    ```

This command will (re-)create the index. All existing content attached to the Elasticsearch will be deleted. From now on all entity CRUD actions will automatically be synced with Elasticsearch.

Bulk synchronisation
--------------------

[](#bulk-synchronisation)

The tool comes with a tool to synchronize all existing content with Elasticsearch. Run

```
php console.php es:sync:all

```

to start a bulk synchronisation.

File contents indexing
----------------------

[](#file-contents-indexing)

It is also possible to use this tool in conjunction with PleioAsyncTaskHandler and [tika-server](https://tika.apache.org/download.html) to search through ElggFile contents.

1. Download and run the tika-server:

    ```
     wget http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/tika/tika-server-1.15.jar
     java -jar tika-server-1.15.jar

    ```
2. Add the following configuration to engine/settings.php:

    ```
     $CONFIG->tika_server = ["localhost", 9998];

    ```
3. Make sure the PleioAsyncTaskHandler is running by:

    ```
     php console.php async:taskhandler

    ```

Now when files are added or updated, the contents are indexed automatically.
