elasticsearch-query-optimization

Diagnose slow Elasticsearch Query DSL searches and propose measured fixes.

What this skill does for you

Diagnose slow Elasticsearch Query DSL searches and propose measured fixes. Use when a search is slow, profile output shows an expensive clause, exact-match filters sit in scoring context, or leading wildcards dominate latency. Ground every recommendation in search profiling : move non-scoring clauses to filter context, eliminate leading wildcards, and re-profile to confirm improvement.
