Description

ElasticSearch is an open-source, distributed search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene. Designed for scalability, it offers real-time full-text search, JSON-based API interaction, and supports complex data analysis and aggregation. As a document-oriented system, Elasticsearch is a key component in applications requiring efficient search capabilities and is integral to the Elastic Stack for log and data analysis.

ElasticSearch can be used in Build.One with a BusinessEntity or with a Select (DynSelect)

How to use it

To configure a BusinessEntity or DynSelect control to use the ElasticSearch API please use the following repository attribute settings

BusinessEntity

Attribute	Value
SUBTYPE	ElasticSearchCollection
resourceName	The elastic search index.
entityName	The ElasticSearch type, optional attribute.

DynSelect

Attribute	Value
SUBTYPE	ElasticSearchCollection
entityName	The elastic search index.
entityTable	The ElasticSearch type, optional attribute.

It is also required to create a proxy for the given index. The setting for the base API endpoint can be configured using the .restapplicationsettings

For the autocomplete search of the Dynselect object, the fuzzy query is applied, which returns documents that contain terms similar to the search term.

By default the base API endpoint is /web, and can be configured as application setting, the key elasticSearchBaseURL.
