This plugin provides a set of extensions designed to simplify the integration of Elasticsearch with various supported plugins. It is intended for developers who need to implement features like faceted search and want to reduce repetitive configuration code across projects. By offering a common API, it abstracts differences between underlying Elasticsearch implementations.

• Adapter Pattern Support: Automatically detects and interfaces with supported Elasticsearch plugins, including VIP Enterprise Search and ElasticPress, handling version differences centrally.
• Centralized Configuration: Offers a chainable configuration API to define indexed post types, taxonomies, post statuses, and postmeta fields in one place, minimizing project-specific boilerplate.
• Aggregation Management: Simplifies the setup and front-end integration of faceted search (aggregations) for taxonomies and post types, providing reusable controls for search templates.
• Elasticsearch DSL Handling: Contains and modifies the necessary Elasticsearch query structures (DSL) internally, ensuring consistent functionality regardless of the active adapter plugin.
• Tested Integrations: Development includes test coverage for different adapters and Elasticsearch versions, aiming to maintain reliability as underlying plugins update.
