Searchkick

If you want to setup quickly elasticsearch you can use the searchkick gem :

gem 'searchkick'

Add searchkick to models you want to search.

class Product < ActiveRecord::Basesearchkickend

Add data to the search index.

Product.reindex

And to query, use:

products = Product.search "apples"products.each do |product|puts product.nameend

Pretty quick, elasticsearch knowledge not required ;-)
