Full Text Searching & Ranking with ElasticSearch and C#
What’s full text search and and why is it useful? What’s ElasticSearch got that Solr or Lucene don’t? Full text search is extremely useful for parsing documents with fast, efficient searches with relevance ranking. Imagine being able to “Google” your own error logs? We'll go far beyond the typical select where like '% syntax in relational databases and make ElasticSearch give us relevant, searchable logging and indexing. Topics will cover installing ElasticSearch, some basic configuration, saving documents, and most importantly, searching for results using the excellent NEST ElasticSearch .NET client library. We'll also explore ElasticSearch's easy sharding and clustering model.
