I’ve been a Postgres FTS advocate for over a decade since replacing a Solr search with it and getting easier maintenance, more flexibility with queries and virtually no difference in speed.

It’s pretty great.

Elastic is on a different level for a lot of use cases, but pg is more than enough for the vast majority of workloads.

What’s the biggest scale you’ve used Postgres search for?
A site with about 300,000 users where we were still scaling it vertically.
