Indexing is the process by which data is compiled and inserted into Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch (ES) is designed for quick retrieval and filtering of items in the index. To accomplish this, ES does not store the full database of a site, and the index will differ from the site’s MySQL table indexes.
Several features built into Enterprise Search can be enabled with the command wp vip-search activate-feature. Run the command with VIP-CLI, for example:
Post meta is not indexed by default. If post meta is not explicitly defined in the allow list, it will not be indexed.
Similar to post types, any registered taxonomy that is public will be indexed by default.
Enterprise Search automatically indexes all public post types.
To fully enable Enterprise Search, the feature must be code-enabled then an Elasticsearch (ES) index for a site's content is created using CLI commands. After those two steps are complete, standard search queries for the site will be offloaded to the newly created ES index.
Plugins must be installed by adding them to the /plugins directory of an application’s GitHub repository in order to be available for activation. Once installed, it is possible to activate the plugins in the WordPress Admin dashboard (WP Admin). However, it is recommend to code-activate plugins instead to gain greater control and consistency across all environments (e.g., production, non-production, and local development environments).
These instructions will demonstrate how to determine a DNS record's Time to Live using common command line tools.
The WP-CLI search-replace command can be used to search and replace strings in a selection of database tables. This is useful for updating post content and options, especially when changing URLs for sites on a WordPress multisite.
Custom domains must be added to an environment’s VIP Dashboard in order to be used for launching a site or sending emails from an environment with that domain. After adding a custom domain, the domain must also be verified before DNS settings can be provided and a Let’s Encrypt certificate can be installed.
