Elasticsearch version 7 is recommended and offers improvements such as third-party search abstractions and shared search pipelines, which simplify customization and integration with external search providers.
Elasticsearch version 7 introduces the Dimensional Analyzer, allowing product sizes to be searched by fractional numbers.
Sponsored products are displayed differently in version 7 compared to version 5.
Note: Elasticsearch version 7 only uses search rebuild version 2 for faster index builds.
Elasticsearch Index objects use the IElasticClient interface provided by NEST (Nest version 5 for Elasticsearch 5.5 and Nest version 7 for Elasticsearch 7.10).
The Search_Url application setting is used to configure the Elasticsearch connection.
The Elasticsearch Index Builder constructs the search index using the IndexType to identify whether a category, content, or product build is required.
New indices are built with the name of the Elasticsearch Index alias and a new GUID, ensuring a smooth transition during index updates.
The Elasticsearch Query Builder is a helper class for creating Elasticsearch NEST queries and filters, facilitating the interaction with the search index.
Analyzers like Query Analyzer, Index Analyzer, Lowercase Analyzer, and Dimensional Analyzer are used to process text during search.
Document Types are similar to class definitions in .NET and are used for products, categories, and CMS content.
Three built-in token filters (stemmer, stop word, and synonym) are available for customizing search behavior.
The search history is stored in the web browser's local storage as a JSON object containing a list of search queries.
The productListSortType local storage object stores the current sort type for product lists, offering options like Product: A to Z, Product: Z to A, Price: Low to High, and Price: High to Low.
The productListViewName local storage object stores values for the product display method, allowing users to view results in either "list" or "grid" formats.
