Searching your data
editElastic Maps embeds the search bar for real-time search.
Only layers requesting data from Elasticsearch are filtered when you submit a search request.
Layers narrowed by the search context contain the filter icon to the right of layer name in the legend.
You can create a layer that requests data from Elasticsearch from the following:
-
Vector layer with:
- Documents source
- Grid aggregation source
- Term join. The search context is applied to both the terms join and the vector source when the vector source is provided by Elasticsearch documents.
- Heat map layer with Grid aggregation source
