How to Build Application Search with Ruby on Rails (Sample Code) | Elastic

When people interact with their computer or phone, often times it looks like this: activate the screen, open the browser, type cryptic strings into an empty search bar, scan the results for a moment, then click on a top result. Search has given tremendous power to Internet users. One can find their desired information or product and they can find it fast. Miraculous, indeed, but with great power comes great expectations.If you have a website or application, your users will demand similar expediency. The Elastic App Search Service (formerly Swiftype App Search) is a product that can help you streamline the information or product acquisition phase of the users’ web experience. You want that, too, because more rewarding interactions will help you accomplish your business goals. No one wants to wade through pages of results! They want magical boxes that transport them to exactly what they are seeking - or something even better. This tutorial will demonstrate how to start building such an experience.
