enhances search still uses xf_search_index table?

[Mouth]

I have installed ElasticSearch accordinging to http://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-basic-elasticsearch-installation-debian-ubuntu.26163/

I can telnet to localhost:9200 and 'netstat -l' show it running and listening.

According to http://xenforo.com/community/threads/the-xf_search_index-table-can-be-truncated-if-using-xfes.26182/ then I shouldn't need the xf_search_index table.

After performing a vBulletin 3.8 import, I am now completing a search cache index. Whilst this is occurring, I am watching the number of records within the xf_search_index table increase greatly.

Why is this so?
Thanks.

I'm guessing you didn't enable it in the options (see http://xenforo.com/help/enhanced-search/).

Definantly followed that step, via Tools > Elasticsearch Setup, and set the option to Stemming.

This bit:

Several new options are created in Options > Search Options to control the elasticsearch server details. The option Enable Elasticsearch must be selected before data will be stored in or retrieved from elasticsearch.

Thanks, that's got it working as expected. How silly of me. Appreciate it.
