Elasticsearch Service - Testers wanted
We are starting with a new Elasticsearch Service designed for XenForo and need some testers!
The goal of this service is to make it much easier for XenForo customers to make use of XenForo's Enhanced Search (XFES) capabilities.
Why this service?
XF Enhanced Search is getting more and more interesting. Besides the added search speed you will get great new features.
To use XFES, you will need a server running Elasticsearch.
If you are running on shared hosting you are probably not able to install your own Elasticsearch instance.
Some people run Xenforo on their own VPS but are not comfortable installing XFES. Even if the installation is not that difficult, maintaining it and especially keeping it secure can be quite a challenge. Running XenForo and Elasticsearch on the same VPS could also be a problem in some situations as Elasticsearch is memory hungry.

And now for the fun part: Apply for this test!
