Summary

Elastic Enterprise Search, which was later renamed to Elastic Workplace Search, is a consumer-grade enterprise search solution designed to unify and simplify access to scattered data across various cloud-based tools that organizations use for productivity. The product allows for fast, scalable, and relevant searches from a single search bar, capitalizing on Elasticsearch's proven relevance and scalability. It offers integration with popular applications like Google Drive, GitHub, Salesforce, and Dropbox, alongside a Custom Connector Framework for syncing data from any source. Elastic Enterprise Search provides features such as advanced keyword detection, privacy groups, and tunable search relevance, enabling users to efficiently find information tailored to their team's needs, all while maintaining security through granular access controls. The introductory beta version aimed to showcase its capabilities with community feedback, and while not initially fit for production usage, it promised seamless data indexing, blazing speeds, and expert support from Elastic.
