Navigate to Stores > Configuration > ElasticSuite > Blog Post settings

• Max result: Maximum number of blog posts to display in the search results block (default: 5)

Navigate to Stores > Configuration > ElasticSuite > Autocomplete > Blog Post Autocomplete

• Max size: Maximum number of blog posts to display in autocomplete results (default: 5)

1. Go to Content > Blog > Posts
2. Edit a blog post
3. In the Search Engine section, enable "Is searchable"
4. Save the post

The "Is searchable" flag determines whether a blog post will be indexed and appear in search results.

After installation and configuration:

1. Enable Search for Blog Posts: Mark blog posts as searchable in the admin panel
2. Reindex: Run the blog fulltext reindex to populate the search engine
3. Test Search: Try searching for blog content from the frontend

The module automatically:

• Indexes searchable blog posts into ElasticSearch
• Shows relevant posts in autocomplete suggestions
• Displays blog results on the search page
• Filters out inactive or non-searchable posts

The module creates a dedicated ElasticSearch index for blog posts with the following fields:

blog_post index:
├── post_id (integer)
├── title (text, searchable, spellcheck)
├── content (text, searchable, spellcheck)
└── is_active (integer)

1. HTML Filtering: Blog content is processed to remove HTML tags and formatting
2. Text Normalization: Multiple spaces are collapsed for better search relevance
3. Store Filtering: Only posts visible in the current store are indexed

The module integrates at multiple levels:

1. Autocomplete: Adds a blog post data provider to search suggestions
2. Search Results: Injects a blog results block above product results
3. Query Processing: Uses ElasticSuite's query builder for relevant results

1. Indexer: elasticsuite_blog_fulltext - Processes and indexes blog posts
2. Search Container: blog_search_container - Defines search request structure
3. Collection: Custom collection that queries ElasticSearch instead of MySQL

The module adds an is_searchable field to the magefan_blog_post table:

ALTER TABLE `magefan_blog_post` 
ADD COLUMN `is_searchable` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 
COMMENT 'If post is searchable';

1. Ensure posts are marked as "Is searchable" in admin
2. Verify posts are active
3. Run reindex: bin/magento indexer:reindex elasticsuite_blog_fulltext
4. Clear cache: bin/magento cache:clean
