I suggest you start with this plugin here: https://github.com/Flowpack/Flowpack.SearchPlugin and use it togehter with https://github.com/Flowpack/Flowpack.SimpleSearch wich does all the indexing based on sqlite.

First, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately i get an Error when using them both together:

The object "Flowpack\ElasticSearch\ContentRepositoryAdaptor\ElasticSearchClient" which was specified as a property in the object configuration of object "Flowpack\SearchPlugin\Controller\SuggestController" (automatically registered class) does not exist.

Same problem here: Using SearchPlugin with SimpleSearch

How to get started without the SearchPlugin?

Basically you dont’need the plugin … that is just the user interface.

Simple search implements indexing for this package here … https://github.com/neos/typo3cr-search/ … this is where the Search-Eeel Helper and the QueryBuilder come from.

Some fusion code to use this directly could look like this:

@context {
  searchQuery = ${Search.query(site).fulltext(request.arguments.search).nodeType('TYPO3.Neos:Document')}
}
count = ${searchQuery.count()}
results =  ${searchQuery.from(0).limit(10).execute()}

Note: Beware of untested code above … this is just an example
