In this article, we will explore how to integrate Elasticsearch with a Strapi application to create a search engine for our application by adding a search feature to the Strapi Foodadvisor application. We'll use Elasticsearch to build a search index and then connect it to our Strapi server using an Elasticsearch client. The benefits of using Elasticsearch include its ability to help everyone find what they need faster, provide speed and accuracy in searching through large amounts of text, and offer a full-blown search engine integration into the application. To start, we'll create a new Strapi project, install the required packages, and set up our Elasticsearch instance. We'll then connect our Strapi server to Elasticsearch using an Elasticsearch client and implement a search service that can be used in our application. The search service will allow users to enter a search query and retrieve relevant results from the index. We'll also implement pagination and display the results in a user-friendly format. Finally, we'll test our search feature to ensure it's working correctly and provide examples of how to use it.
