## What it is
ElasticPress is a WordPress plugin that integrates WordPress with Elasticsearch to provide fast, relevant search and querying of site content. It replaces the default slow WordPress database queries with Elasticsearch-backed indexing, offering features like autosuggest, WooCommerce product search, weighted results, and related content.

## Use cases
- speed up wordpress site search with elasticsearch
- add autosuggest to wordpress search box
- make woocommerce product search fast on large catalogs
- search pdf and document attachments in wordpress
- improve search relevance with weighted results
- show related posts without manual tagging
- search wordpress orders by customer email in admin

## When to choose
- your wordpress site has slow or irrelevant search on large amounts of content
- you run a woocommerce store with thousands of products needing fast filtered search
- you want typo tolerance, autosuggest, and related content out of the box
- you already have or can host an elasticsearch cluster

## When to avoid
- your site is small and default wordpress search is adequate
- you cannot run or pay for an elasticsearch endpoint
- you need a search solution without a wordpress dependency
