In the PRO version are there any WordPress hooks that can change Elasticsearch settings and mapping?

Authors posts could only be found by matching perfectly firstname + lastname string, and that would need to be changed in the mapping before indexing.

Yes and no.

No : I started a generic mapping by drag&drop with all analysers/filters a few month ago, but did not finish it.

Yes : but in the PRO version, you can select a type for each searched fields (the “boosts”). By default the type is text without analysers. But you can also select the type with the default analysers.

I can change the ‘author’ default type ‘keyword’ to ‘text’ in the ‘Search field boosts’?

Have you considered adding a “quote” char_filter in the settings?

I found problematic searching for words with apostrophes using the plugin free version.

“char_filter”: {

“quotes”: {

“type”: “mapping”,

“mappings”: [

“\\u0091=>\\u0027”,

“\\u0092=>\\u0027”,

“\\u2018=>\\u0027”,

“\\u2019=>\\u0027”,

“\\u201B=>\\u0027”

]
}
}

yes

No, because there are tens/hundreds of other possible tunings, only adapted to specific needs. That was the purpose of my previous generic mapping settings.
