As you may know, the idea of developing Elasticsearch is to provide scalable search solution. The search solution was built from the ground up to be distributed and used easily by any programming language, like JSON over HTTP. The search engine providing a distributed multitenant-capable, full-text search engine with an HTTP web interface and schema-free JSON documents.
Integrating Elasticsearch with Joomla really marks an obvious advances of implementing a high performance search tool for Joomla! The solution accelerates searching large amount of data on Joomla site with a real-time speed. This removes the weak point of default Joomla search known as heavy and slow function.
Although there are many advantages of using Elasticsearch as search engine for your site, it is not easy for nontechnical users to install and configure Elasticsearch on their servers. Moreover, it is nearly impossible to setup the Elasticsearch on shared hosting due to its limitations.
