Silverstripe Search Service > Elastic
========================================

[](#silverstripe-search-service--elastic)

Elastic Service provider for [Silverstripe Search Service](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-search-service).

This module uses Elastic's [Enterprise Search PHP library](https://github.com/elastic/enterprise-search-php) to provide the ability to index content for an Elastic App Search engine. This module **does not** provide any method for performing searches on your engines - we've added some [suggestions](#searching) though.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- php: ^8.1
- silverstripe/framework: ^5
- silverstripe/silverstripe-search-service: ^3
- elastic/enterprise-search: ^8.3
- guzzlehttp/guzzle: ^7

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

[](#installation)

`composer require silverstripe/silverstripe-search-service-elastic`

Activating EnterpriseSearch
---------------------------

[](#activating-enterprisesearch)

To start using EnterpriseSearch, define environment variables containing your private API key, endpoint, and prefix.

```
ENTERPRISE_SEARCH_ENDPOINT="https://abc123.app-search.ap-southeast-2.aws.found.io"
ENTERPRISE_SEARCH_API_KEY="private-abc123"
ENTERPRISE_SEARCH_ENGINE_PREFIX="value-excluding-index-name"
SEARCH_DASHBOARD_URL="https://abc123.app-search.kb-southeast-2.aws.found.io"

```

Elastic enterprise search dashboard URL(`SEARCH_DASHBOARD_URL`). If this matches the `ENTERPRISE_SEARCH_ENDPOINT`, there's no need to define it. It will automatically fall back to the value of the `ENTERPRISE_SEARCH_ENDPOINT` environment variable.

Configuring EnterpriseSearch
----------------------------

[](#configuring-enterprisesearch)

The most notable configuration surface for EnterpriseSearch is the schema, which determines how data is stored in your EnterpriseSearch index (engine). There are four types of data in EnterpriseSearch:

- `text` (default)
- `date`
- `number`
- `geolocation`

You can specify these data types in the `options` node of your fields.

```
SilverStripe\SearchService\Service\IndexConfiguration:
  indexes:
    myindex:
      includeClasses:
        SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree:
          fields:
            title: true
            summary_field:
              property: SummaryField
              options:
                type: text
```

**Note**: Be careful about whimsically changing your schema. EnterpriseSearch may need to be fully reindexed if you change the data type of a field.

Additional documentation
------------------------

[](#additional-documentation)

Majority of documentation is provided by the Silverstripe Search Service module. A couple in particular that might be useful to you are:

- [Configuration](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-search-service/blob/2/docs/en/configuration.md)
- [Customisation](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-search-service/blob/2/docs/en/customising.md)

Searching
---------

[](#searching)

Elastic themselves provide a headless [Search UI](https://docs.elastic.co/search-ui/overview) JS library, which can be used with vanilla JS or any framework like React, Vue, etc.

There are two main libraries:

- [@elastic/search-ui-app-search-connector](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@elastic/search-ui-app-search-connector)
    - Provides a class to help you connect to your Elastic App Search API.
- [@elastic/search-ui](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@elastic/search-ui)
    - Provides a class that allows you to perform searches and manage your search state.

If you are using React, then there is also [@elastic/react-search-ui](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@elastic/react-search-ui), which provides interface components.

If you are not using React, then the creation of the view will be up to you.
