Magento 2 Elasticsearch

With the help of the Magento 2 Elastic search extension, integrating Elasticsearch into your store could be a simple process. As a front-end search type, you can choose between "multi-match query" and "simple match query."

The multi-match type is available in a drop-down list for the admin to choose. The most popular multi-match types are phrase and phrase prefixes, along with best fields, most fields, cross fields, and fields.

The multi-search query's admin can choose between "And" and "Or" operators. Additionally, to change the search term supplied by the customer, the store owner can choose from a variety of token filters.

• The Elasticsearch engine is simple to enable.
• Choose a language stemmer based on the language of your Magento 2 store.
• A minimum match percentage is set to decrease the number of poor matches in the search result.
• There are four different token filter types. They are the stop word filter, lowercase filter, elision filter, and synonym filter.

After adding products to the store, it is necessary to index (i.e. store) the product data on the elastic server.

• According to the available index types, the data is stored on the elastic server.
• The admin can choose the pages, categories, and product index types here.
• By choosing the index type first, the admin can then choose the mode for that index type. Afterward, the admin needs to click on the Actions dropdown.
• Between "Update on Save" and "Update on Schedule," you have a choice.
• The administrator can now choose the index type and click the reindex link under the Action button.
• The admin can use the command-line function to perform a bulk update.

Features for search suggestions are already included in the Magento 2 Elastic search extension. The user can view related searches using a few search terms. Customers can find a fitness watch, fitness accessories, fitness equipment, etc. by typing "fit" into the search bar.

• The customer's product search is made simple by this feature. If you are looking for a product search via image you can check our Product Search Via Image for Magento 2. (Need to purchase separately).
• The customer can use this feature to view the related searches in addition to the item they were looking for.
• Customers can search categories, pages, or products with the help of this feature.
• They simply need to type the search term.

You can also look at Magento 2 Search Suggestion. While you are still typing, results are already displayed. It provides product recommendations that include the product's appearance and cost. Additionally, the search box displays popular items.

The admin can set the spell checking at level 1 or level 2 using the Magento 2 Elasticsearch extension. This allows the Elasticsearch engine to analyze incorrectly entered search terms made by the user. The most relevant results to the search term are then displayed.

For instance, if a user accidentally typed "bakpak" when searching for a backpack. The search engine will then analyze the search term and display the Backpack results.

• The levels for spell-checking can be chosen by the admin.
• The customer can use this feature to search for the right product even if they typed the wrong spelling.

The token filter is one of the search filter types that is used to change the customer-provided search term. Elasticsearch for Magento 2 supports four different categories of search filters.

• Synonym filter: A customer can search for products appropriately by using a group of synonyms that the admin can create.
• Elision filter: The following filter removes vowels, consonants, and syllables from the search term.
• Stop word filter: Stop words are eliminated from the search term using this filter.
• Lowercase filter: This filter normalizes token text to lowercase.

Character search filters are available in addition to token filters. Unwanted characters are eliminated from the search term. There are three of these:

• The HTML Strip Char Filter eliminates the HTML elements that the admin has chosen.
• The mapping Filter swaps out mapping keys for values. Therefore, it will eliminate any character from the mapping.
• Instead of mapping, the Pattern Replace Filter replaces patterns.

For quicker search results, the Elasticsearch extension supports advanced layered navigation in Magento 2. The Elasticsearch engine will now handle all of the search requests generated by the category pages.

• Filter products quickly.
• Utilize various sliders, options, and filters.
• Works on category-specific pages.
• Takes advantage of Elasticsearch engine.
• It is simple to switch from the MySQL search engine to Elasticsearch.
