Demonstrates autocomplete with highlighting, faceted filters (vendor, price, ratings), paging, and term/range queries, uses Bigdesk and Paramedic for cluster health, explains shards/replicas and dynamic rebalance when adding a node, and reports the setup works in practice with faster searches and scalable indexing when paired with a load balancer.
