Recently I started working on a Laravel project that requires integration with Elasticsearch search engine. I didn’t want to change super cool development environment that Taylor (creator of Laravel) so kindly provided to us, so I installed Elasticsearch on Homestead instead of creating a new Vagrant box specially for this project. Here is a little snippet that will help you if you want to use Elasticsearch in you Laravel application.
