ElasticSearch - a movie search website

Project Outline

First, I crawled more than 200 pages movie data from IMDB webside using Python Scrapy and defined fields with mapping configuration.

After that, I established backend search engine that realized ngram partial matching, auto-suggest, structured query and aggregation in ElasticSearch.

Finally, A website was developed and designed with Flask and Node.js to display the movie information.
