Thank you.

That is a very good point. But we don't have any "safe" data. We have 
tested it on customer's systems with large volumes (> 1m records) but of 
course we cannot put that data on-line for all to see ;-)

I will see if we can obtain some public data that we can use.

Yes, there are Event Handlers to do this.

Should be fine. Elasticsearch itself is _very_ fast and it doesn't take 
very long at all to re-index one record.

There is a vtiger scheduler job registered to do this. In testing I was 
able to index 50,000 records within a 15 minute cycle but obviously you 
need to determine if that is something you want to do on a production 
system - the volume is configurable and you can enable and disable the 
front-end search feature so it can be turned off whilst you are indexing 
the majority of you data.

Thanks for the feedback.
