Elastic announced the release of the fourth iteration of the Elastic App Search beta, focusing on enhancements in performance and bug fixes. Notable updates in this beta include improved intelligence and messaging for configuration issues, the introduction of Query Suggestions, refined email aesthetics, and better handling of integers and booleans in the app_search.yml file. Additionally, several behind-the-scenes improvements have been made to optimize the system. Users who have been utilizing previous beta versions are advised to start fresh with this new release, as it is approaching general availability. Feedback from users is encouraged to refine the product further, and a free test drive is available until the general availability launch.
