And thank you for considering my reply as "kind words". :) I would not have been so harsh if I knew you were going to read the reply! That first chapter though. So many points repeated.

Haha. That chapter was revised a lot and ultimately shortened a ton in the final version. I agree it had a lot of repetition. Hopefully it's better in the final printing.

I read the advance version of the first chapter and never the one in the actual book when it finally was released. Will see if I have that original version and do a comparison.

I tried to see your talk at last year's Elaticon, but it was packed due to the small room. Not surprising since Elasticsearch tends to minimalize search in favor of analytics/logging. So few talks regarding pure search.
