Let's not derail this thread but I can't guarantee that's the order of events that will be followed. XenReviews = > 100,000 lines of code. This = < 1,000 lines of code (most of which I adapted from other non-XenForo projects).
I've been using ElasticSearch in other environments for over a year now. I've fiddled with autocompletion stuff, word/phrase suggestions, synonym support, etc for my "real"/"day" job. I just decided these things were very nice and there seems to be a lot of demand so I took an hour or two (To demonstrate, I acknowledged that @MattW had installed ES at 1:42, by 2:10 I had messaged him with a link to see the suggestion part included) to distract myself from larger projects to see if I could plug it into XenForo. That's also why despite great suggestions made from people I've let beta test, I haven't included much complexity (such as whitelisting words for the suggestions, getting synonyms to work, or really focused much time on improving the results of the suggestions).
