Building Search Functionality With Python, Flask, and Elasticsearch

Building a web application to solve a business problem is relatively easy, but how do you create a compelling experience that draws your users in and entices them to spend more time in your app? Making your search features great can do wonders for attaining that goal, regardless of whether your app is about eCommerce, food delivery, or social media.

This talk will be presented in four parts:
- Introduction to web applications and how to build a search feature.
- Adding search functionality and implementing synonyms, curations, and relevance.
- Dockerizing and deploying in a cloud.
- Collecting logs and traces to better understand the application's performance.

The end result will be a live website with "https" that participants can play with. All of the instructions and slides will be provided with links, along with a GitHub repository with the code.

Thank you 🙏 sir for sharing us the wealth of information on a complex topic.

This was one of my favorite demos. I like how you explained the Elastic ecosystem with Kibana and demoed elasticsearch and appsearch. This video is dated, but it struck me as a bit weird that you'd use tf-idf as the score or bm25. Couldn't we make better search results by using a self-attention-based transformer encoder model like BERT that would give you much better semantic understanding?
