Yes I have seen that post and several others on here. I am running a self hosted EaslticSearch setup using elasticpress. I have built the elastic index on my server and my general search works really fast with Elasticpress I am just now trying to add filters to it.

Yes I integrated it into a custom query:

<?php  echo do_shortcode('[searchandfilter id="163524"]'); ?>

  <?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'product', 
  'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'asc', 'posts_per_page' => 10,  'ep_integrate' => true); 
  $args['search_filter_id'] = 163524;
  $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); 
  while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
   
    <h2><?php the_title();?></h2>
    <p><?php the_content();?></p>      
    <p><?php  $sku = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_sku', true ); echo ( $sku ); ?></p>

    <?php $price = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_price', true ); ?>
<p><?php echo wc_price( $price ); ?></p>
                     <br/>            

<?php endwhile; ?>   

Hi Trevor. So I think the problem for me right now is that it is taking FOREVER to index. It says I have 49,000~ posts and I started indexing yesterday and am only at 44%. This is on a Cloudays server with 4GB RAM on a Digitial Ocean instance.

If these plugin is going to work with ElasticPress I think there needs to be a way around the caching. Most people using ElasticPress are going to have a large number of posts otherwise they would just use the default search that comes with WordPress.

Is there any way around the caching or a way to speed it up? I have set it on the fastest setting but it still isn’t helping.
