Is elastic search not an option? I read they are compliant with hippa and other laws.

There are many open source alternatives to algolia too.

I am using meilli search - https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch atm. It works pretty well without taking huge resources.

Sonic is interesting too if you want something minimal - https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic

meilli looks very promising! Thanks for this.
