I set up elasticsearch, installed this module and moved my search_api indexes from SOLR to Elastic.
All went good and currently I'm reindexing my dev-site, on elastic of course.
Search is already starting to work and giving back results, although I don't expect everything to be a drop-in replacement.
Something that caught my eye in the index edit page is:
Collect index statistics
Enable the statistics collection that will help you to better analys what the users are searching for.
I've been thinking about sorting autocomplete results by how often people are searching (
https://www.drupal.org/node/2298863 →
) but this seemed to not be possible with SOLR.
Elasticsearch seems to be able to do something like that, or seems to actually have this information somewhere, which is a good start.
Does the afforementioned option/checkbox enable something that I can access from drupal?
The autocomplete module has a hook for altering the order of the results. If, somehow, we can get something from elastic and passed on to Drupal then ordering would be possible.
Hope the above make sense,
thanks

Elasticsearch Connector Search API
@bserem, it looks like the Search API Stats module → and/or the Search API Tracking modules → do something similar to what you're asking for.
May I trouble you to try out these modules to see if they meet your needs, and post back here with the results?
