How to Set Up and Use Elasticsearch with Strapi

1

The need for a search feature in an application cannot be overstated. It could make the life of users easier and also make them excited to use an application. The ease of finding a particular resource or a collection of resources on an application greatly affects the user experience of an application (web or mobile).

Hello there,
I’m using strapi v4 and follow all your steps to integrate elasticsearch to my strapi. Actually, I got this error. How can I solve that? Thank you

We managed to solve this by changing the query to elasticsearch, it is malformed in the demo.

As an example, this worked just fine:

body: {
          query: {
            bool: {
              should: [
                { term: { "attributes.title": "purple" } }
              ]
            }
          }
        }

Hi, I need to override this controller to get the default strapi response with the data and meta object for clean and standard responses and pagination from the search result.

code:
search_restaurants: async(ctx, next) => {
try {
const data = await strapi.service(‘api::search.search’).search_restaurants(ctx.query)
// console.log(‘here’, ctx.query)
ctx.body = data
} catch (err) {
ctx.body = err;
}
}

desire response schema:
