This is not my lane, but I was looking to fast text search some time ago. I looked into Elastic but it seemed to me it was designed for a scale that I didn't need.

Then I found projects like Meilisearch and TypeSense (which are in the same class of search software as Algolia) and they're so much faster than a standalone Elastic instance.

Again, different space from Elastic, but I'm not sure if most people truly need Elastic's scale.
