Add documentation for site builders

Created on 7 October 2014, almost 11 years ago
Updated 27 August 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

Currently, the Elasticsearch Connector module has a documentation guide , which contains a sub-guide for developers , but we only have minimal documentation for site builders!

Proposed resolution

Add documentation for site builders.

Note that other people maintain documentation for...

Setting up Elasticsearch,
setting up Search API ,
setting up search Views , etc.

We could start by linking to those ones, and filling in the gaps (especially between setting up Elasticsearch and setting up Search API).

Remaining tasks

  1. - done by @mparker17
  2. Stub a page for setting up Elasticsearch,
  3. Stub a page for setting up Search API,
  4. Stub a page for installing Elasticsearch Connector,
  5. Stub a page for connecting Search API to Elasticsearch through Elasticsearch Connector,
  6. Stub a page for setting up a simple search view

User interface changes

None.

API changes

None.

Data model changes

None.

Original report by @BigEd

I have managed to get a search index connected to Elastic and importing the data.

Trouble is I have now spent ages trying to render the data out in views. I am using the search api but could really do with a guide and there is no documentation to be found.

Any where you can point me to?
