Join us for a student bootcamp series exploring the Elastic stack and its practical uses. You'll learn the basic architecture of Elastic, how to perform CRUD operations with Elasticsearch and Kibana and how to fine-tune your search results. Finally, you'll create a fast React web application utilizing Elastic Cloud and Elastic Enterprise Search. See how quickly you can get set up, ingest data, discover the search interface, and analyze and tune a search engine for your needs. Participants who attend all three sessions will receive an official Certificate of Completion and will be entered to win Elastic swag!

Part 2: Understanding the relevance of your search with Elasticsearch & Kibana 

“I love it when my search engine retrieves irrelevant search results,” said nobody ever. Getting fast and relevant search results at scale is key to providing a great search experience to your users. Elasticsearch is a powerful search and analytics engine designed to do just that! In Part 2 of this series we'll dive more deeply into how search works and how to improve our search results. 

Check out the recording of this session and the slide deck.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

- understand how Precision and Recall are used to measure how well Elastic search engine is searching

- understand how to improve Precision or Recall of your search in Elasticsearch

- master how to send search queries from Kibana to Elasticsearch to fine tune Precision or Recall of your search results

Before joining the workshop:

This workshop is the second in the Elastic Bootcamp for Students series. We will be building on what we learned in the first workshop (Intro to Elasticsearch and Kibana). If you haven’t attended the first workshop, be sure to check out these resources so you are ready to go!
