Integrate Elasticsearch with WordPress.

== Description ==
ElasticPress is a WordPress-Elasticsearch integration that overrides default `WP_Query` behavior to give you search results from Elasticsearch instead of MySQL. The plugin is built to be managed entirely via the command line. ElasticPress supports cross-site search in multi-site WordPress installs.

Out of the box, WordPress search is rudimentary at best: Poor performance, inflexible and rigid matching algorithms, inability to search metadata and taxonomy information, no way to determine categories of your results, and most importantly overall poor result relevancy.

Elasticsearch is a search server based on [Lucene](http://lucene.apache.org/). It provides a distributed, multitenant-capable full-text search engine with a [REST](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer)ful web interface and schema-free [JSON](http://json.org/) documents.

Coupling WordPress with Elasticsearch allows us to do amazing things with search including:

* Relevant results
* Autosuggest
* Fuzzy matching (catch misspellings as well as 'close' queries)
* Proximity and geographic queries
* Search metadata
* Search taxonomies
* Facets
* Search all sites on a multisite install
* [The list goes on...](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search.html)

_Note:_ Requires [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/) and [Elasticsearch](http://www.elasticsearch.org/).

Please refer to [Github](https://github.com/10up/ElasticPress) for detailed usage instructions and documentation.

== Installation ==
1. First, you will need to properly [install and configure](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_installing_elasticsearch.html) Elasticsearch.
2. Install [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/).
3. Install the plugin in WordPress.

= Configuration =

First, make sure you have Elasticsearch configured properly and WP-CLI setup.

Before configuring the WordPress plugin, you need to decide how you want to run the plugin. The processes for
configuring single site and multi-site cross-site search are slightly different.

= Single Site =
1. Activate the plugin.
2. Define the constant `EP_HOST` in your wp-config.php file with the connection (and port) of your Elasticsearch application.
3. If you would like to define backup servers in case EP_HOST fails enter `global $ep_backup_host` in wp-config.php and then instantiate the variable with an array of backup hosts to use.
4. Using WP-CLI, do an initial sync (with mapping) with your ES server by running: `wp elasticpress index --setup`.

= Multi-site Cross-site Search =
1. Network activate the plugin
2. Define the constant `EP_HOST` in your wp-config.php file with the connection (and port) of your Elasticsearch application.
3. If you would like to define backup servers in case EP_HOST fails enter `global $ep_backup_host` in wp-config.php and then instantiate the variable with an array of backup hosts to use.
4. Using WP-CLI, do an initial sync (with mapping) with your ES server by running: `wp elasticpress index --setup --network-wide`.

= 1.7 (Mapping change, requires reindex) =

ElasticPress 1.7 restructures meta mapping for posts for much more flexible meta queries. The `post_meta` Elasticsearch post property has been left for backwards compatibility. As of this version, post meta will be stored in the `meta` Elasticsearch property. `meta` is structured as follows:

* `meta.value` (string)
* `meta.raw` (unanalyzed string)
* `meta.long` (unanalyzed number)
* `meta.double` (unanalyzed number)
* `meta.boolean` (unanalyzed number)
* `meta.date` (unanalyzed yyyy-MM-dd date)
* `meta.datetime` (unanalyzed yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss datetime)
* `time` (unanalyzed HH:mm:ss time)

When querying posts, you will get back `meta.value`. However, if you plan to mess with the new post mapping, it's important to understand the intricacies.

The real implications of this is in `meta_query`. You can now effectively search by meta types. See the new section in README.md for details on this.

1.7 also contains the following bugs/enhancements:

* (Bug) Prevent missed post indexing when duplicate post dates. Props [lukaspawlik](https://github.com/lukaspawlik)
* (Bug) Complex meta types are automatically serialized upon storage.
* (Enhancement) Index posts according to post type. Props [sc0ttkclark](https://github.com/sc0ttkclark)

= 1.6.2 (Mapping change, requires reindex) =

ElasticPress 1.6.2 fixes ALL backwards compatibility issues with Elasticsearch 2.0:

* Removes `fuzzy_like_this` query and uses `multi_match` instead.
* Uses string instead of array for post type term when there is only one term.

= 1.6.1 (Mapping change, requires reindex) =

ElasticPress 1.6.1 fixes mapping backwards compatibility issues with Elasticsearch 2.0:

* Removes the fields field type from object typed fields as they should be called properties.
* Remove path from object field types.
