Honza Král - Beyond the basics with Elasticsearch
[EuroPython 2015]
[24 July 2015]
[Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain]

Elasticsearch has many use cases, some of them fairly obvious and
widely used, like plain searching through documents or analytics. In
this talk I would like to go through some of the more advanced
scenarios we have seen in the wild. Some examples of what we will
cover:

Trend detection - how you can use the aggregation framework to go
beyond simple "counting" and make use of the full-text properties of
Elasticsearch.

Percolator - percolator is reversed search and many people use it as
such to drive alerts or "stored search" functionality for their
website, let's look at how we can use it to detect languages, geo
locations or drive live search.

If we end up with some time to spare we can explore some other ideas
about how we can utilize the features of a search engine to drive non-
trivial data analysis including Geo-enabled search with relevancy.
