README

This module is a fork from ElasticSuite for Magento 1 aimed at providing an ElasticSearch indexing for Magento 1 that is compatible with the latest ElasticSuite for Magento 2 schema.
We recommend that you use OpenMage LTS for a version of Magento 1 that is still supported.

DISCLAIMER: we don't plan to support querying the index from Magento 1's frontend. However, if you'd like to take ownership of this aspect we would be glad to add you as a maintainer. Please contact us.

Status: This module is used in production by some Front-Commerce / Magento 1 projects

Installation

You can install the module using composer, modman or by copying manually the content of the src/ directory in your Magento installation.

When installed, you can login in the admin panel to configure it.

Configuration

The module can be configured from the System > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog Search page and section. You first need to make sure that the Search Engine param is set to Smile Serchandizing Suite.

Configure the ElasticSearch server and port, and save the settings.

You should then reindex your store, by running: php shell/indexer.php reindexall (or n98 index:reindex:all).

TIPS: in case of issues, take a look at the Troubleshooting section below.

Troubleshooting

Here is an overview of the most common errors and solutions for them.

FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api) error

This error could appear during a reindexation. There are 2 possible causes.

The index is in read-only mode

For some reasons, your index could be in read-only mode. In this case, you should reconfigure the index as detailed here:

curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/_settings" -H'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "index": {
    "blocks": {
      "read_only_allow_delete": "false"
    }
  }
}'

Not enough remaining space on disk

Another reason could be that your hard drive has not enough space left on the device (~ <10 Go). The solution is… to make some space on it!

Try to empty your trash, remove unused docker images (docker image prune -a) or other things like that! Note: ncdu is your friend.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Mage_CatalogSearch_Model_Resource_Fulltext_Engine::getCurrentIndexesForScopes()

There is a known unclear error message, that looks like the error below:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Mage_CatalogSearch_Model_Resource_Fulltext_Engine::getCurrentIndexesForScopes() in /var/www/.modman/magento1-elasticsuite-indexer/src/app/code/community/Smile/ElasticSearch/Model/Indexer/Fulltext.php:189

The error is triggered when your ElasticSearch configuration is incorrect. The solution is to double-check your settings in admin. If the problem persists, please contact us.

Note: the error is because in such situation \Smile_ElasticSearch_Model_Resource_Engine_Elasticsearch::getStatus() returns false and our code doesn't handle this gracefully yet. We should throw an exception with a clearer message for developers. Hopefully in an upcoming version! Feel free to send us a PR for this.
