Elasticsearch or Solr with Laravel?

Hey Jeff,

I've requested this before, but thought I'd chuck it here too.

Any chance of a video/series on integrating Elasticsearch or Solr with Laravel? We all have to do this at some point, and solarium still makes me want to pull out my hair, must be a easier solution right? And who better to teach us than Mr Way himself!

Anyway, hope you will consider this!

Thanks for all ur great work too, not a day goes by where I don't visit laracasts!

I kinda hoped L5 would bring native MongoDB support but ElasticSearch would be awesome :D

Agreed - that video above not only came as a timely interrupt for me as i working on implementing search using SQL queries in my app, but it's also a great introduction to elasticsearch.

Yes! Would love to see more here on Laracasts on these kinds of technologies.

Nice codesq, I'm gonna keep an eye on that badboy. Seems too early to use right now, but for the future!

Would also be very interested in a very advanced search series.

@noeldiaz, can you delete the right bracket in the second link you posted your last post; it is going a 404 page (It will be good future visitors.).
