Designsafe is a web portal focused on helping Natural Hazards Engineering to conduct research. Natural Hazards Research spans across multiple physical locations, where the experiments take place, and multiple disciplines. Sharing and searching data is an imperative feature when doing research in multiple physical locations. We are able to handle the researchers needs by using a distributed database (Elasticsearch) to index important features extracted from data. In this paper, we will explain the problems we encountered when trying to facilitate sharing and searching of data as well as how we solve these problem with the help of Elasticsearch.
