It's release day! #Mastodon 4.2 will drop later today. I'm very excited for all the improvements we've been working on since January to become available to all server operators and their users.

I'm apparently going to need to add ElasticSearch to get the most anticipated new feature, right?

@wjmaggos Yes, if you want to perform full text search on your server. But even without ElasticSearch users can opt in to have their posts index in search but it will simply not work locally.

@mastohost Looks like I’ll be adding ElasticSearch to my personal instance then. Would you also recommend increasing from ‘Moon’?

@karim Well, ElasticSearch runs on independent resources, so it will make no difference for ElasticSearch if you are using Moon or another plan.
