| # Elasticsearch Engine (preview) |
| > The default Answer uses a built-in database such as MySQL as its search engine. |
| > However, when dealing with large amounts of data, the speed and accuracy of searches can be affected. |
| > Therefore, we provide a plugin that uses Elasticsearch as the search engine, which greatly improves search speed and accuracy. |
