 1. Check the app logs to ensure Elasticsearch has started correctly
 2. Note the generated password from the logs or from `/app/data/credentials.txt`
 3. Configure your other Cloudron apps to connect to Elasticsearch using the format: `http://elastic:<password>@localhost:9200`
+4. (Recommended) Verify the bundled `analysis-icu` plugin (required by Nextcloud’s full-text search):  
+   ```bash
+   curl -X GET -u elastic:<password> "localhost:9200/_nodes/plugins?pretty"

+### Language Analysis Plugins
+
+Many integrations (for example, Nextcloud Full-Text Search with German documents) require the `analysis-icu` plugin so Elasticsearch understands language-specific analyzers. This package ships with `analysis-icu` preinstalled. You can verify it from the Elasticsearch web terminal:

 The package automatically configures Elasticsearch based on the container's available resources:
 
-- Java heap size is set to 50% of available memory
+- Java heap size defaults to 50% of the app's memory allocation
 - GC optimization for container environments
 - Index settings tuned for single-node operation
 
+You can override the automatic heap sizing when necessary:
+
+- Define `ES_JAVA_HEAP` (e.g. `export ES_JAVA_HEAP=8g`) in `/app/data/.env`
+- Provide a full `ES_JAVA_OPTS` string in `/app/data/.env` to take complete control
+- Add explicit `-Xms`/`-Xmx` entries in `/app/data/config/jvm.options.d/heap.options`
+- Set `ES_SKIP_AUTO_HEAP=1` in `/app/data/.env` to rely solely on the configuration files

 - This package is for internal use only and is not exposed to the web by default
