Elastic Search indexing in Magento 2
Elastic Search works with indexes to organize its data for quick processing. Through the Elasticsearch engine’s gateway feature, its indexes are equipped with long-term persistence. Elastic Search gives you fast page loading and recovery of indexes from the gateway in case of a server issue or crash.Product Attribute Weight
Specify search weight for product attributes in the search algorithm to provide your customers with accurate results.
Full Text Content Search
Your customers can search the contents of your entire online store. Magento 2 Elastic Search module offers full text results within CMS pages and blocks.
Fallback Search
Automatically offer your customers similar products when no items are found. With Fallback Search, alternative variants can be shown when zero items match the search query.
Support for Asian Languages

Exclude stop words from search results
Maintain fast search speeds with a small index by specifying a list of words to be ignored by the search engine. Manage your stop words anytime using a grid in the backend.
Single-result redirect to product page
This feature helps to significantly decrease the number of steps a customer makes between looking for some goods and making a purchase. You can also enable redirection from 404 pages to enhance the UX.
Multilingual search
Not only does Elastic Search provide custom analyzers for Asian languages, it utilizes inbox stop words and supports inbox stemming from a rich list of languages including Arabic, Hindi, Greek, and more.
Manage tasks with Cron Tasks List
With Cron Tasks List built in, Elastic Search lets you manage and track all cron tasks running in the background. Filter, sort, and delete tasks in bulk when necessary.
Redirect to search results from broken URLs
Reduce customer churn by setting up automatic redirection to search results. Excludes broken URLS that lead to 404 pages.
SEO-friendly short URLs
