I read somewhere that Mattermost uses default_text_search_config to do the search.
This default_text_search_config configuration is for Postgres DB and Mattermost follows this configuration. I mean the full text search is relying on the DB.
We have a good number of Japanese customers who are using Elasticsearch and it works well.
I’m thinking about purchasing the paid version of Mattermost, but I’d like to try out what I can do with the Team Edition first.
Completely understand you. Please let us know if you need any further information about Mattermost and Demo. I am happy to help you with your Mattermost trial.
