Search blomstra/search

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

• 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

Use composer:

composer require blomstra/search:*

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

Set up

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

php flarum blomstra:search:index

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