How to use PHP and Elasticsearch to achieve a humanized search experience

Introduction:
In today's era of information explosion, efficient search functions have become important for websites and applications. Elasticsearch is a powerful open source search engine that is fast, scalable and flexible and has been widely used in various scenarios. PHP is a widely used development language that provides many tools and libraries for interacting with Elasticsearch, which can help us achieve a humanized search experience. This article will explain how to use PHP and Elasticsearch to build a simple and efficient search function.

1. Install and set up Elasticsearch
First, we need to install Elasticsearch on a local or remote server. For specific installation steps, please refer to the official Elasticsearch documentation. After the installation is complete, we need to create a new index and add some test data.

1. Create a new index

   PUT /my_index

2. Add test data

   POST /my_index/_doc
   {
     "title": "Elasticsearch入门指南",
     "author": "张三",
     "content": "本文介绍了Elasticsearch的基本概念和使用方法。"
   }
   
   POST /my_index/_doc
   {
     "title": "PHP和Elasticsearch的集成",
     "author": "李四",
     "content": "本文讲解了如何使用PHP和Elasticsearch构建一个简单而高效的搜索功能。"
   }

2. Installation and Configuring the PHP development environment
Before we start writing PHP code, we need to ensure that the PHP environment has installed and correctly configured the extensions required to interact with Elasticsearch.

1. Install the Elasticsearch client library

   composer require elasticsearch/elasticsearch

2. Create a PHP file and introduce the Elasticsearch client library

   require 'vendor/autoload.php';
   use ElasticsearchClientBuilder;

3. Write PHP search code
Next, we will write PHP code to perform search operations and achieve a humanized search experience.

1. Connect to Elasticsearch

   $client = ClientBuilder::create()->build();

2. Perform search operations

   $params = [
     'index' => 'my_index',
     'body'  => [
    'query' => [
      'match' => [
        'content' => 'Elasticsearch'
      ]
    ]
     ]
   ];
   
   $response = $client->search($params);

3. Process search results

   foreach ($response['hits']['hits'] as $hit) {
    echo $hit['_source']['title'] . ' - ' . $hit['_source']['author'] . "<br>";
    // 输出：Elasticsearch入门指南 - 张三
    // 输出：PHP和Elasticsearch的集成 - 李四
   }

4. Improve the search experience

1. Paging function
   If the search results contain multiple pages, we can use Elasticsearch’sfrom# The ## and size parameters are used to implement the paging function. Modify the search parameter code as follows:

   $params = [
     'index' => 'my_index',
     'body' => [
    'from' => 0,
    'size' => 10,
    'query' => [
      'match' => [
        'content' => 'Elasticsearch'
      ]
    ]
     ]
   ];
   
   $response = $client->search($params);

2. Highlight search keywords

   In order to improve the readability of search results, we can use the highlighting function of Elasticsearch to highlight the search Keywords. Modify the search parameter code as follows:
   

   $params = [
     'index' => 'my_index',
     'body'  => [
    'query' => [
      'match' => [
        'content' => 'Elasticsearch'
      ]
    ],
    'highlight' => [
      'fields' => [
        'content' => new stdClass()
      ]
    ]
     ]
   ];
   $response = $client->search($params);

3. Sort function

   If the search results need to be sorted by specific fields, we can use Elasticsearch’s
   sort parameters to achieve this . Modify the search parameter code as follows:

   $params = [
     'index' => 'my_index',
     'body'  => [
    'query' => [
      'match' => [
        'content' => 'Elasticsearch'
      ]
    ],
    'sort' => [
      'title' => 'asc' // 按标题升序排序
    ]
     ]
   ];
   $response = $client->search($params);

5. Summary

This article introduces how to use PHP and Elasticsearch to achieve a humanized search experience. We prepared Elasticsearch by installing, setting up, and adding test data, then coded the search in PHP and improved the search experience, including paging, highlighting, and sorting capabilities. I hope this article will be helpful to developers who want to improve their search capabilities.
