A plugin that integrates WordPress with Elasticsearch.
Aside from super fast full text search, this plugin will speed up post listings of any post type, including WooCommerce products.
The plugin works by indexing all posts and post meta data and redirecting the requests by WordPress from MySQL to Elasticsearch.
The plugin requires that you have Elasticsearch installed on your server.
