Sample for Elastic Search intergration

[wonsuc]

Though Full-text search via Algolia is great example for advanced search options on Firebase, many people still prefer Elastic Search rather than Algolia.

Therefore it would be really helpful if there was a sample like "Full-text search via Elastic Search".

I hope you consider it. Thank you.

I agree, but its a feature request. Not sure, whether it needs to be under issues !!

@wonsuc Hi, have you found a sample ? can we use firebase/flashlight for this ?

[wonsuc]

@yasir-netlinks You don't have to use Flashlight if you already have Cloud Functions server. If you want to use standalone Node.js server Flashlight would be the answer. Though Elastic Search is nice and free, our team chose Algolia. It costs quite a bit but It's super fast and we saved lots of time for extra coding. Elastic Search is cool and full customizable, but you would need more Back-end knowledge and extra times for detail integrations. Start Elastic Search with GCP, it's my best recommendation.
