Elastic search questions

I have played with elasticsearch today and I am confused (and documentation is inconclusive at best).

Does elastisearch index every module (and all fields within the module) which is selected/approved in search settings? Does this apply to custom modules as well?

Or we need to select the module and manually add fields into the code just like with baked in global search?

p.s. my confusion comes from the fact that I have some custom fields which I manually added to global search, but for some reason of the other I could not find my records in those custom fields (I also guess it does not index documents within suitecrm)
p.p.s. I am also confused on how much time elasticsearch need to build initial index, my install appeared to be finished in seconds which I find a bit too optimistic
p.p.p.s. it would be nice to consider adding fields to search from GUI via studio instead of manually tinkering (possibly feature request for 8.10?)
