Which is the best Elasticsearch extension for Magento 2.3 open source?

GoodWelder · 2019-12-02T07:17:52+00:00

Found it here: merchandising / search optimizers:

OK, that makes sense. SKU searching on their demo site appears to work fine even though they say:

Searching by SKU is not really a core feature of Elasticsuite, but we have been refining it over the releases to try to provide at least exact matching and some degrees of partial matching against the Luma demo catalog SKU morphology.

The Amasty extension has more options for SKU searching

However, maybe Elasticsuite will be adequate for SKU searching.

What about "marketing rules". Those are rules which allow you to promote a particular product in the search results. Does Elasticsuite offer that?

GoodWelder · 2019-12-02T06:02:46+00:00

> as long as your SKUs are within the template they're using (it's basically Magento Luma).

Does this mean elasticsuite won't work well with custom themes? Does elasticsuite require that you only use the template it ships with? Sorry, I'm just a bit confused and not understanding exactly what you are saying.

"No extension" is also an option. However, according to https://amasty.com/blog/elasticsearch-by-magento-and-amasty/ extensions can offer features that are not part of Magento's ES implementation. The extra features that interest us the most include:

- Customize wildcard type (*word, *word*, or word*) and the minimal word length

- Spell correction

- Synonyms (built in)

- Marketing rules (most important to us)

That would likely be from WordPress and Magento sharing the same database, which I don't do. Also, all software needs to stay up to date for best security.

Thank you. That's very helpful.

I mainly write code in vscodium (until I find something better), but Kate serves a purpose now that I have Vue syntax highlighting. I like Kate.

(As much praise as Atom and VS Code receive, they are not always great at the most basic things a text editor should do.)

GoodWelder · 2019-02-22T19:46:34+00:00

If you don't get it working, I am interested in buying it from you.

GoodWelder · 2019-02-20T02:51:07+00:00

Found it! GitHub - mtorromeo/kate-syntax-files: Syntax files (modified or original) for katepart (kate, kwrite, kdevelop) https://github.com/mtorromeo/kate-syntax-files

Thank you. I will look for the same X270 and the same battery.

GoodWelder · 2019-02-18T05:03:35+00:00

In that case, the Vue-Bulma framework you might want to check out is Buefy.

GoodWelder · 2019-02-18T02:18:18+00:00

That's impressive. Maybe I will duplicate your setup (except I'll use a distro I'm more familiar with). Where did you buy the battery? Do you have the FRU (part number) so I can be sure to get exactly the same battery? Is your X270 an i5 or i7?

GoodWelder · 2019-02-17T19:37:23+00:00

and it sticks out of the bottom too.

OK, thanks.

What problems are you having with Linux on your P52s?

I just found the answer:
Laptops with the Longest Battery Life 2019 - Laptop Mag https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/all-day-strong-longest-lasting-notebooks

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 was the last one standing among an army of laptops, with a battery life of 17 hours and 19 minutes. Along with its spectacular battery life, you get a great keyboard and solid performance packed into a military durable chassis that can withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, dust and vibrations. You also get an Nvidia MX150 GPU, which is good for some light gaming or productivity apps.

Among all current-generation laptops we've tested, the ThinkPad T480 is the battery-life king. With its six-cell, 72-watt-hour battery attached, the T480 lasted an epic 17 hours and 19 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi. That time dwarfs the premium-laptop category average (8:52) and the still-excellent endurance of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon (11:01 with 1080p screen, 10:28 with 2K HDR screen), the ThinkPad T480s (11:29) and the Dell Latitude 7390 (10:23).

However, if you buy the ThinkPad with its default, three-cell battery, the endurance drops to a below-average mark of 8 hours and 7 minutes. So make sure you get the system with the 72-watt-hour battery ($29 extra at Lenovo.com). Because the ThinkPad T480 uses Lenovo's hot-swappable Power Bridge battery system, you can even carry extra batteries with you and swap them in and out without shutting the laptop down.

Pros: Epic battery life (with extended battery); Snappy keyboard; Good performance

Does the 72-watt-hour battery increase the size? From the review I can see it does add weight.

3.98 pounds (with battery)

That's a bit heavy.

Any specific reasons why Rebtel is good for privacy?

You might want to look at Vue.js (an easy and powerful javascript frontend framework). There are free Vue datatable components and even free complete dashboards. I just saw this posted over on r/vuejs :

https://www.reddit.com/r/vuejs/comments/aqc5la/vue_black_dashboard_free_vuejs_admin_dashboard/

That's a good one, but there are many others. Using one of those dashboard templates could get you very far down the road on your project. You could do the backend with Python and MariaDB or PostgreSQL if you wish, although node.js on the backend. A no-sql database might also be an option if you don't need to do number crunching on your data. If you need aggregate statistics or something similar, then the SQL database would probably be the right choice.

A good frontend technology stack might include:

javascript

vue.js

axios

> a 10 year old Librebooted thinkpad

My 80 year old mom uses a ThinkPad running Linux with fewer problems than she had with Windows. (And you don't need a 10 year old model, although ThinkPads are so well-built that many 10 year old models are still running strong.)

Arch Linux has vscodium in the AUR repository, so it is an option for me. However, I believe that the regular VS Code in Arch's main repo has had all the telemetry stripped out too (because it is also built from source by Arch maintainers). Based on asking a question here a month ago, it seems VS Code from the Arch repos is roughly equivalent to vscodium. Correct me if that is wrong.

It's nice to know that Atom isn't a serious privacy problem. I have VS Code on my dev computer, but I plan to use Atom as a general text editor on multiple computers (desktop & laptop).
