Elastic Search

Elasticsearch is an open-source distributed search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene. Elasticsearch is a very fast search engine, indeed.

Blaze sends JSON documents to Elasticsearch using the API ingestion tools. Elasticsearch stores the original document and adds a searchable reference to the document in the search cluster’s index. Blaze then searches and retrieves the document using the Elasticsearch API. The distributed nature of Elasticsearch enables it to process large volumes of data in parallel, quickly finding the best matches for your queries. Blaze uses Elasticsearch to deliver front-end and administrative faceted search, content discovery, dynamic filtering, and real-time directory generation—all managed by non-technical users via the Page Builder.
