Elasticsearch Indexer

A plugin that integrates WordPress with Elasticsearch.

Aside from super fast full text search, this plugin will speed up post listings of any post type, including WooCommerce products.

The plugin works by indexing all posts and post meta data and redirecting the requests by WordPress from MySQL to Elasticsearch.

The plugin requires that you have Elasticsearch installed on your server.

Usage

The plugin requires no modification to work. Once you have put in your settings and run an initial reindex of the site the plugin will keep elasticsearch in sync with MySQL and redirect queries from MySQL to Elasticsearch. However the plugin comes with a few extra features and filters that you can use.

Not supported

• Sticky posts (ignores sticky posts. All wordpress queries will act as if ignore_sticky_posts is set to true)
• Password protected posts (fallback to MySQL if used)
• Random sorting (ignored)
