We've been using Algolia as we build out our custom database of ~1.5million US-based nonprofits for patronage.org and I have become their #1 fanboy. The search is blazing fast, super customizable, and support has been incredibly helpful. It's one of those products that seems to provide "if you can dream it, you can do it" functionality. We went from a slow search that used EINs to a search that accounts for typos, alternative names of charities, EINs, locations, and is customized for the logged-in user since we can pass queries to Algolia clientside. My only complaint, if I had to make one, is that pricing is a bit steep for our use case but I can't imagine how much time I'd need to spend to get ElasticSearch running comparably.
