How Do I?

we want to implement in our site an advanced search, similar to Site Search https://www.elastic.co/products/site-search

this would be an easy task with elasticsearch, but we didn’t find any information about ES integrations.

I also saw the “low search” plugin, but I didn’t find detailed information on its page.

Any advice for advanced searches?

Due to the nature of elastic search it would be very difficult to write a catch all addon that just makes it work. I’ve done it several times and it is custom each time. Take a look at a hosted service like Algolia. You’ll probably need to use something like the after_channel_entry_save hook to send data, or use an addon, or maybe just template code, to create a JSON api from your entries, then have something send that data to ES/Algolia.
