Elastic Enterprise Search 8.6: Relevant search for file systems, MongoDB, and Amazon S3

Elastic Enterprise Search 8.6 introduces enhanced capabilities for indexing content from file systems, network drives, MongoDB, and Amazon S3, with new connectors and tools to optimize search experiences. This release features improved scheduling for web crawls, filtering rules for MongoDB, and enhanced sync monitoring, allowing users to manage operational data efficiently while reducing the need for maintaining custom solutions. The 8.6 update also advances natural language processing (NLP) tools, enabling users to test and refine search indices with ease, and supports the integration of inference pipelines for more accurate search outcomes. Additionally, this version provides enhanced visibility into sync jobs and offers configurable options to speed up web crawls, particularly for sites with large binary content. Elastic Cloud customers can access these features directly from the console, with options for a free trial for new users, though the release and timing of features are subject to Elastic's discretion.
