Fuzzy search
The fuzzy search helps to identify similar queries across thousands of documents on an existing index. So that typos, plurals, and cases won't deliver zero search results.

Elasticsearch support & optimization
Once you have your Elasticsearch running, you’ll eventually want to adjust your system for growth, change sharding settings, or increase the search speed. Whatever the reason behind optimization, with the right tech expertise, Elasticsearch is flexible for all of these tasks. We can help you get better Elasticsearch performance for specific search purposes and save costs on resources your Elasticsearch infrastructure uses.
Infrastructure setup & performance tuning
We'll start with the analysis of tech resources you use to run your clusters in terms of computing, memory, storage, and network. Then, we move to optimization of the cluster configuration and index configuration to improve the latency of queries.
Our further steps will depend on the goals you aim to achieve with the Elasticsearch optimization, as well as what hardware sources you're running it on.

Elasticsearch monitoring
The monitoring of the internal behavior of Elasticsearch will help us discover the cost-saving opportunities available. The key metrics to track:
- Search query performance
- Indexing performance
- Node & cluster health
- Heap utilization
Upgrading Elasticsearch
It is important to aim for the latest Elasticsearch solutions as apart from the new features released, the latest versions usually include a significant performance boost. Because each of the products in your Elastic Stack should be upgraded separately and the upgrading process should be invisible to your users, this process usually gets tricky.
We have experience in upgrading Elasticsearch to different versions. Depending on your current Elasticsearch cluster, we will offer you an optimal upgrading scenario to the desired version you can upgrade to with minimum risks.

02 
Technical audit
Query audit to define the most popular queries, search relevance threshold, mapping verification, data on specific queries.
Hardware compatibility analysis for computing, memory, storage, network utilization to identify issues influencing performance.
Traffic analysis to define search queries quantitative characteristics and Elasticsearch use within different time periods.
03 
Strategy
Depending on the findings from the Discovery and Technical audit steps we'll provide you with the Elasticsearch capacity planning and integration/optimization strategy. We'll create a roadmap for the project and create a prioritized backlog with further improvements.
