This article is incredible.
I've been running a news search engine API [1] for about 18 months, and I found a lot of new things.
The biggest takeaway (IMO) is to use existing SaaS at first. We've been using ElasticSearch Service for our v1, and it worked great. 0s downtime with no master nodes.
And yes, ElasticsSearch itself is just a tool: you'd have to write your own search logic on top of it.
Also, start with something "strict" that gives decent results for ppl who won't read any tips or docs: 99,99% of people who use Google Search don't know about any advanced tips, and still get relevant results.
