"I've been interested in using the tool called Curator. And I just spent 20 minutes with the guy who developed it, Aaron. He's been super helpful."

"We develop our search APIs very quickly and easily with Elasticsearch."

"With Elasticsearch, items are searchable within one or two seconds after being published."

"I think it was a good decision to make the change, since I became hopeful that we could make enhancements for users after trying Elasticsearch."

"Users are most satisfied with the speed of the system, which allows documents to be searchable almost immediately after they have been indexed."
