ElasticSearch is a powerful distributed RESTful Java-based search engine for indexing and searching large data sets.
The 'Fantastic ElasticSearch'ugin aims at replacing WP's default search function with a powerful ElasticSearch solution.
Besides better search results, the administrator will also benefit from additional ElasticSearch features like the capability of re-indexing content on command, selecting which content can be indexed in the first place, and controlling how the results are printed.
Other benefits include a simple fallback mechanism to the WordPress search engine whenever the ElasticSearch server is down or lagging, and also an automated mechanism of updating the search index every time content is modified, mechanism used also be all of WP's top caching plugins.
