Why Elasticsearch
Dadooo.ai generates a lot of content — AI-written text, social media posts, documents, invoices, ideas. PostgreSQL handles the relational data, but when users need to search across all of it with fuzzy matching, relevance scoring, and filters, Elasticsearch is the right tool.
How I Use It
Elasticsearch 8.15 runs alongside PostgreSQL in the Dadooo.ai Docker stack. Content gets indexed as it’s created — AI-generated text, uploaded documents, and structured data all flow into Elasticsearch for full-text search across the platform.
In the Stack
For Exlink, the search requirement is different — expert profile matching with Meilisearch via Laravel Scout. Elasticsearch fits Dadooo.ai because the search patterns are more complex: multi-field queries across different content types with relevance tuning.
