Data::SearchEngine::ElasticSearch is a backend for Data::SearchEngine. It aims to generalize the features of ElasticSearch so that application authors are insulated from some of the differences betwene search modules.

ElasticSearch's query DSL is large and complex. It is not well suited to abstraction by a library like this one. As such you will almost likely find this abstraction lacking. Expect it to improve as the author uses more of ElasticSearch's features in applications.

Setting debug to a true value will cause to be set when the query is sent to ElasticSearch. You can find the explanation by examining the raw attribute of the Data::SearchEngine::Results object.

It is expected that if your Data::SearchEngine::Query object has any query set then it must also have a type.

The query is then passed on to ElasticSearch thusly:

$es->search(
    # ...
    query => { $query->type => $query->query }
    # ...
);

So if you want to do a query_string query, you would set up your query like this:

my $query = Data::SearchEngine::Query->new(
    # ...
    type => 'query_string',
    query => { query => 'some query text' }
    # ...
);

See the documents for ElasticSearch's DLS for more details.

ElasticSearch wants an index and type for each Item that is indexed. It is expected that you will populate these values in the item thusly:

my $item = Data::SearchEngine::Item->new( id => $something, values => { index => 'twitter', type => 'tweet', # and whatever else } ); $dse->add($item);

The servers to which we'll be connecting.

The transport to use. Refer to ElasticSearch for more information.

Add items to the index. Keep in mind that the Data::SearchEngine::Item should have values set for index and type.

Returns true if the Data::SearchEngine::Item is present. Uses the item's id.

Remove the specified item from the index. Uses the item's id.

Search!
