Supercharge Your WordPress Search and Queries Using Elasticsearch
Speaker at WordCamp Milano 2019, Milan, Italy.
What the session covered.
WordPress search is built on MySQL queries that do not scale well with content volume or search complexity.
At WordCamp Milano, Vineet covered the architecture of integrating Elasticsearch into WordPress as a search and query engine, the trade-offs involved, and the types of sites where the integration complexity is justified by the performance and relevance improvements it delivers.
