[{{es}}](/get-started/the-stack.md#stack-components-elasticsearch) is the [open source](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch) search and analytics engine, data store, and vector database which powers the Elastic platform and is fundamental to every Elastic [deployment type](/deploy-manage/deploy.md).


The term "{{es}}" has several additional meanings depending on the context in which it is used:
- {{es}} is the name of a [**project** type](/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/create-serverless-project.md) on {{serverless-full}}, tailored for general-purpose search use cases.
- {{es}} is also the name of a **solution** in other Elastic deployment types. Each [space](/deploy-manage/manage-spaces.md) has its own navigation or **solution view**.

do we have a definition for what a solution is that we can link to? I looked here and it looks like we don't tell people what solutions are 😿 maybe your new overview in this page will

I think framing the navigation in terms of spaces is a little confusing.

wonder if, to support this, we should extract the solution view definitions from the stack procedure here. I don't think it's critical to indicate that these can be overridden at this stage - we are just trying to indicate that when we say "Elasticsearch" we might be talking about the es solution view

Suggested change
- {{es}} is also the name of a **solution** in other Elastic deployment types. Each [space](/deploy-manage/manage-spaces.md) has its own navigation or **solution view**.
- {{es}} is also the name of a [**solution**](no good link) in other Elastic deployment types. Each solution has its own [solution view](no good link), which controls the navigation and menus that users see in {{kib}}.

- The **{{es}} platform** (also known as the "Elastic platform" or simply "the platform") is the umbrella term for Elastic's full suite of products and capabilities, built on the core {{es}} technology. It encompasses what was initially known as the [{{stack}}](/get-started/the-stack.md), extended with additional capabilities (such as the Search AI Lake) to power Elastic's various deployment types and managed services.
