We use ElasticSearch extensively at our company but we don't use it for full text search (in fact, we don't use its full text capabilities at all) but rather for its ability to match and aggregate large data sets without having to create any indexes at all prior (and it's fast, it still blows my mind a little). This allows us to offer customers a way for them to create arbitrary queries in our own little DSL.
