We assume that you have already installed and configured ElasticSearch.
In the next step, just enter your ElasticSearch data in the VIMP configuration:
Backend -> Configuration -> ElasticSearch
Next, the ElasticSearch index must be initialized.
To do this, first ensure that the Administrator role has permission to access ElasticSearch:
Backend -> Roles & Permissions -> Administator -> Edit
Check the "access backend elasticsearch" permission and save the selection.
Then switch to the new backend menu item
Backend -> ElasticSearch
First, we test if the connection to ElasticSearch is working correctly by clicking the "Test server connection" button.
If this is the case, then we trigger indexing by clicking the "Reindex ElasticSearch" button.
Once indexing is complete, all searches will be performed using ElasticSearch instead of the built-in database.
