This might very well have been your intention, but the license you chose (SSPL) is extremely vague in describing this (section 13, IIRC).

For one data point, my company attorneys interpreted that, even if we present a search box in a web page, allowing visitors to search our own indexed data, it could be understood that we "offer a service" -- and thus forced us to abandon Elasticsearch and figure out alternatives. We might be unique, but I doubt it.
