How to search with Elasticsearch DSL

In this chapter we will take a look how to perform a search via objective way with Elasticsearch DSL. Well, the good news is that is very simple. That's why we created this library ;).

To start a search you have to create a Search object.

$search = new Search();

We won't include namespaces in any examples. Don't worry all class's names are unique, so any IDE editor should autocomplete and include it for you ;).
