Hits over Time

When a search is made a timeline will appear beneath the searchbar. In this timeline the amount of results per month are shown. Also the total amount of results, and the time it took Elasticsearch to run is shown.

This timeline is made by using the aggregation function in Elasticsearch. This function returns besides the results for the query also some statistics which were crucial for this timeline.

The aggregation will return a dictionary with months as keys and amount of results as values. Then a timeline graph is made using JSchart.
