Elasticsearch - Is elasticsearch possible without HTTP (offline mode)

Question

I have an app in android, ios and windows which works in offline mode. That is, content is stored in the local database. Now I am trying to implement elasticsearch on this app. Is it possible to search the data from local database when I am offline. Or, is there a way to access Elasticsearch without HTTP.

Please help me on this.

Answer is no, Since elasticsearch will be installed outside of your phone.

But one of the options could be FTS3. Its not as powerful as ES but could be solution.

Thanks for comment @Val. But this will again be working with HTTP. I want a solution in which I can use ES in offline mode (either without HTTP or having the server within mobile) – Mudit Gupta May 01 '17 at 11:06
Then no, that's not possible. – Val May 01 '17 at 11:07
Thanks @Val for clarification. – Mudit Gupta May 01 '17 at 11:12
A smartphone has simply way too limited resources to run an ES server. – Val May 01 '17 at 11:12
