As someone who wrote a very silly and small search system with an elastic search backend.. this thing is a bit complicated. If I do exact match for single words life is easy Once you add phrases or punctuation and tell elastic search to find the best match (text analysis) then life isn't so simple anymore. It feels a bit like magic and I honestly cannot be bothered to become a language expert to know how to tune the machinery. The docs aren't great also. Maybe there's a missing middle ? Of course that if you're talking about social media, or search focused companies, they likely have other interests
