+Search
+======
+
+Read The Docs uses Elasticsearch_ instead of the built in Sphinx search for providing better search
+results. Documents are indexed in the Elasticsearch index and the search is made through the API.
+All the Search Code is open source and lives in the `GitHub Repository`_.
+Currently we are using the `Elasticsearch 6.3`_ version.
+
+Local Development Configuration
+-------------------------------
+
+Installing and running Elasticsearch
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+You need to install and run Elasticsearch_ version 6.3 on your local development machine.
+You can get the installation instructions
+`here <https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/install-elasticsearch.html>`_.
+Otherwise, you can also start an Elasticsearch Docker container by running the following command::
+
+    docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 \
+           -e "discovery.type=single-node" \
+           docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.3.2
+
+Indexing into Elasticsearch
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+For using search, you need to index data to the Elasticsearch Index. Run ``reindex_elasticsearch``
+management command::
+
+    ./manage.py reindex_elasticsearch
+
+For performance optimization, we implemented our own version of management command rather than
+the built in management command provided by the `django-elasticsearch-dsl`_ package.
+
+Auto Indexing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+By default, Auto Indexing is turned off in development mode. To turn it on, change the
+``ELASTICSEARCH_DSL_AUTOSYNC`` settings to `True` in the `readthedocs/settings/dev.py` file.
+After that, whenever a documentation successfully builds, or project gets added,
+the search index will update automatically.
+
+
+Architecture
+------------
+The search architecture is devided into 2 parts.
+One part is responsible for **indexing** the documents and projects and
+the other part is responsible for querying the Index to show the proper results to users.
+We use the `django-elasticsearch-dsl`_ package mostly to the keep the search working.
+`django-elasticsearch-dsl`_ is a wrapper around `elasticsearch-dsl`_ for easy configuration
+with Django.
+
+Indexing
+^^^^^^^^
+All the Sphinx documents are indexed into Elasticsearch after the build is successful.
+Currently, we do not index MkDocs documents to elasticsearch, but
+`any kind of help is welcome <https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/issues/1088>`_.
+
+How we index documentations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After any build is successfully finished, `HTMLFile` objects are created for each of the
+``HTML`` files and the old version's `HTMLFile` object is deleted. By default,
+`django-elasticsearch-dsl`_ package listens to the `post_create`/`post_delete` signals
+to index/delete documents, but it has performance drawbacks as it send HTTP request whenever
+any `HTMLFile` objects is created or deleted. To optimize the performance, `bulk_post_create`
+and `bulk_post_delete` Signals_ are dispatched with list of `HTMLFIle` objects so its possible
+to bulk index documents in elasticsearch ( `bulk_post_create` signal is dispatched for created
+and `bulk_post_delete` is dispatched for deleted objects). Both of the signals are dispatched
+with the list of the instances of `HTMLFile` in `instance_list` parameter.
+
+We listen to the `bulk_post_create` and `bulk_post_delete` signals in our `Search` application
+and index/delete the documentation content from the `HTMLFile` instances.
+
+
+How we index projects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+We also index project information in our search index so that the user can search for projects
+from the main site. `django-elasticsearch-dsl`_ listen `post_create` and `post_delete` signals of
+`Project` model and index/delete into Elasticsearch accordingly.
+
+
+Elasticsearch Document
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+`elasticsearch-dsl`_ provides model-like wrapper for the `Elasticsearch document`_.
+As per requirements of `django-elasticsearch-dsl`_, it is stored in the
+`readthedocs/search/documents.py` file.
+
+    **ProjectDocument:** It is used for indexing projects. Signal listener of
+    `django-elasticsearch-dsl`_ listens to the `post_save` signal of `Project` model and
+    then index/delete into Elasticsearch.
+
+    **PageDocument**: It is used for indexing documentation of projects. By default, the auto
+    indexing is turned off by `ignore_signals = settings.ES_PAGE_IGNORE_SIGNALS`.
+    `settings.ES_PAGE_IGNORE_SIGNALS` is `False` both in development and production.
+    As mentioned above, our `Search` app listens to the `bulk_post_create` and `bulk_post_delete`
+    signals and indexes/deleted documentation into Elasticsearch. The signal listeners are in
+    the `readthedocs/search/signals.py` file. Both of the signals are dispatched
+    after a successful documentation build.
+
+    The fields and ES Datatypes are specified in the `PageDocument`. The indexable data is taken
+    from `processed_json` property of `HTMLFile`. This property provides python dictionary with
+    document data like `title`, `headers`, `content` etc.
