Challenges encountered during setup of Advanced Search
Summary
I went through a first-time setup of Advanced Search with Elastic as the backing store. I ran into a few questions in following our docs.
I recorded a walkthrough of the process, which can be found here: https://youtu.be/nVIGRg_uXug
Specific challenges
- Organization of Advanced Search configuration docs is confusing. Specifically the deep link on setting up Advanced Search is below the Elastic/OpenSearch areas.
- Could stand to use some additional information on what to do in the Elastic console. For example, where to create a user?
- In Elastic console, the copy/paste of the role JSON didn't work. Was getting a weird error.
- Docs suggest using a rake task instead of the UI buttons, which appear to work although got a 500 error. Why are we recommending the rake task?
- HTTP 500 errors on save, although they seemed to apply/work. Would be good to return an error if there was one.
- Tip on which queue to select to see if the indexing was done doesn't say to select Default or Busy. Also, we do seem to show indexing status in the Settings UI now, do we need to redirect people to Sidekiq queues?
