Book Description

Whether you need full-text search or real-time analytics of structured data - or both - the Elasticsearch distributed search engine is an ideal way to put your data to work. This practical guide not only shows you how to search, analyze, and explore data with Elasticsearch, but also helps you deal with the complexities of human language, geolocation, and relationships.

If you're a newcomer to both search and distributed systems, you'll quickly learn how to integrate Elasticsearch into your application. More experienced users will pick up lots of advanced techniques. Throughout the book, you'll follow a problem-based approach to learn why, when, and how to use Elasticsearch features.

• Understand how Elasticsearch interprets data in your documents
• Index and query your data to take advantage of search concepts such as relevance and word proximity
• Handle human language through the effective use of analyzers and queries
• Summarize and group data to show overall trends, with aggregations and analytics
• Use geo-points and geo-shapes Elasticsearch's approaches to geolocation
• Model your data to take advantage of Elasticsearch's horizontal scalability
• Learn how to configure and monitor your cluster in production

• Clinton Gormley was the first user of Elasticsearch and wrote the Perl API back in 2010. When Elasticsearch formed a company in 2012, he joined as a developer and the maintainer of the Perl modules.
• Zachary Tong has been working with Elasticsearch since 2011. During that time, he has written a number of tutorials to help beginners start using Elasticsearch.

• Apache Solr Succinctly (Xavier Morera)

  This book guides you through the basics of this highly popular enterprise search tool. You'll learn how to set up an index and how to make it searchable, then query it with a simple enterprise search. Explanations for precision and recall are also included.

• Search Engines: Information Retrieval in Practice

  Written by a leader in the field of information retrieval, it is designed to give students the understanding and tools they need to evaluate, compare and modify search engines. It is also a valuable tool for search engine and information retrieval professionals.

• Entity-Oriented Search (Krisztian Balog)

  This open access book covers all facets of entity-oriented search - where "search" can be interpreted in the broadest sense of information access - from a unified point of view, and provides a coherent and comprehensive overview of the state of the art.

• Introduction to Information Retrieval (Christopher Manning, et al)

  This book covers all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections.

• Theory and Applications for Advanced Text Mining (S. Sakurai)

  This book introduces advanced text mining techniques. They are various techniques from relation extraction to under or less resourced language. It will give new knowledge in the text mining field and help many readers open their new research fields.

• Text Mining with R: A Tidy Approach (Julia Silge, et al)

  You'll explore text-mining techniques with tidytext, a package that authors developed using the tidy principles behind R packages like ggraph and dplyr. You'll learn how tidytext and other tidy tools in R can make text analysis easier and more effective.

• Think Data Structures: Algorithms and Information Retrieval

  This practical book will help you learn and review some of the most important ideas in software engineering - data structures and algorithms - in a way that's clearer, more concise, and more engaging than other materials. Useful in technical interviews too.
