The Tripal Elasticsearch module allows you to index any tables from the public and Chado schema. You can index all fields or a subset of fields from a table. You can select mapping types for each fields. Only fields that have a mapping type selected will get indexed and become searchable later.
Database table indexing also allows you to specify tokenizer and token filters. If you are not familiar with
these concepts, we recommend you select standard for tokenizer and standard for token filters. Below is an example:
You can create a new index by clicking on the create Index tab, or navigating to http://[your-tripal-site-domain]/admin/tripal/extension/tripal_elasticsearch/indices/create.
For a custom index, you will need to:
- select the database table index type.
- Enter a unique name for the index.
- Specify Index settings for the Tokenizer and Token Filter (or leave the defaults)
- Decide if the index will be exposed to Cross-Site Search.
- Select a table.
- Select at least one field from the table to index.
