Package assumes autopublish: Did not receive an index or an array of indexes (using subscribe/publish)

let Players = new Meteor.Collection('players'),
  PlayersIndex = new EasySearch.Index({
    collection: Players,
    fields: ['name'],
    engine: new EasySearch.MongoDB()
  });

Template.searchBox.helpers({
  playersIndex: () => PlayersIndex
});

Where exactly is this supposed to go? The let syntax is read as invalid by the linter in Meteor. This indicates to me it needs to go into a helper, but this doesn’t make sense due to the fact that you’re creating a new collection.

The previous syntax to create an index appeared like this:

Trackers.initEasySearch(
  [
    'stuff'
  ], {
  'limit': 5,
  'use': 'mongo-db'
});

…which appears to still work.

I’ve checked your documentation on the site, but this is completely inconsistent across the site.

Maybe this should be titled “fix your documentation”.

I can’t seem to get even a basic search working with version 2.0.

This might help.

The getComponentDict method is not available before the template has been rendered. You cannot access it from the helpers otherwise it will return undefined. However it is available inside onRendered and events methods.

Here is how I access the count in my helpers, through a Session variable :

Template.collectivities.onRendered(function() {
  Tracker.autorun(function() {
    var dict = index.getComponentDict();
    Session.set('count', dict.get('count'));
  });
});

Template.collectivities.helpers({
  count: function() {
    return Session.get('count');
  }
});

1. According to the UPGRADE-2.0.md the package code now uses ES2015, which means that all the examples also use ES2015 code. If let is invalid, then you’re missing the ecmascript package.
2. Might be an issue that has to do with not having ES2015 available in your project.

Which version of meteor are you using?
