You should show us what you got so far

I would:

  • pick one of the implementations of elasticsearch for django out there
  • create a DRF-serializer class for a single search result/or the specific model class (with the fields that you need on the frontend)
  • create a view that checks for a GET-parameter e.g. ?query=foo and use that to engage your search
  • then serialize the results and return it

I could not understand what exactly you want me to do. Can you pls explain me with some code example. And i have written my approach can you please see it and suggest me any change.
So your main concern is performance? I would time the different parts of the request to find out where most time is used. Search for python/django profiling to get started. And I would repeat the experiment on a machine with more ram/cpu available for better measurement. I would have suspected the search server to take the motherload of time... but since you say it's very fast.
Thanks for your help . And I haven't measured the server response time but I saw the average response time of elastic search from heroku add on console. where it was under 58 ms.
I have added django profiling please see it : gist
