    Hello,
    Just installed ElasticSearch and wanted to try out your plugin. I donwloaded, unzipped, uploaded to the plugins folder and the I got stumped already – on Github it says run “composer install” inside the directory.

    How? ??

    Is there a way to run the “composer.json” file?

    I tried activating the plugin without running the composer – but I got errors of course.

    Thanks!

    You only need to run composer if you downloaded the plugin from github. If you download the plugin here from www.remarpro.com or the built in plugin installer in your wordpress admin panel then you don’t have to run composer. Make sure you have at least php5.4 installed.

    Hello, thank you – I installed and indexed with no problem.

    Just to be clear, this plugin is just for creating an index – it doesn’t replace WP-Query, correct? So I still need a way to actually access and search the index?

    No, this integrates with WP_Query. All you need to do is install and index and you searches will be full text searches instead of MySQL LIKE queries and you should notice an overall speed boost on the site. But you can do queries/searches against the indexed database if you would like.

    Hmmm….okay…that’s what I was hoping for…

    But ??

    I’m not seeing any difference in search time results. When I query MySQL it’s very slow – about 60-75 seconds. When I use the search widget with the Indexer running and everything re-indexed, it still takes the same amount of time.

    Any ideas why?

    It should be about about .5-1 second – that’s the speed when I query the Elastic server (it’s also what I was getting with Solr) so it’s almost as if the plugin is being bypassed somehow.

    Thanks!

    Have you reindexed the site?
