I want to plug Algolia a little bit. For small teams, the results are truly incredible, and it provides a ton of features out-of-the-box without a lot of development time. I've seen small teams struggle mightily with both ElasticSearch and Solr; things usually start off OK, but results go downhill as the search needs get more complicated (indexing multiple kinds of documents; adding more and more different kinds of data to the index and trying to weight things properly; dealing with tradeoffs such as relevancy vs recency; etc.). In the future I would shy away from such powerful tools unless I knew I had sufficient engineering resources to dedicate to search and my problem was complex enough to merit it.
