Using Full Text Search is where the search capabilities of Elasticsearch start to really set it apart from databases. In this lesson, you will learn how to perform full text searches against your data, interpret the results, and understand how the relevance score is impacts your search results. If you are following the examples in this course, be sure to import the Simpsons episode scripts for this lesson by running node utils/episode_scripts.js from the git repo directory.

Love this series!

Would be awesome if you could get into n-grams and creating an auto-complete search capability.

Selfishly speaking, it would amazing to see how we could use something like Angular 2 to subscribe to a text input and poll ealsticsearch for autocomplete information..... and if you want to take it further, how you'd push all that through graphQL.... big ask, but who knows maybe you can do this :)
