What are the best practices for setting up a search index in PHP to improve search performance and accuracy?

Setting up a search index in PHP can improve search performance and accuracy by using a full-text search engine like Elasticsearch or Apache Solr. These tools allow for faster and more relevant search results by indexing and analyzing the data in a more efficient way. 

// Example code for setting up a search index using Elasticsearch in PHP

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Elasticsearch\ClientBuilder;

$client = ClientBuilder::create()->build();

$params = [
    'index' => 'my_index',
    'body' => [
        'settings' => [
            'number_of_shards' => 1,
            'number_of_replicas' => 0
        ],
        'mappings' => [
            'properties' => [
                'title' => ['type' => 'text'],
                'description' => ['type' => 'text']
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

$response = $client->indices()->create($params);

echo "Index created successfully";
