Yes, i've looked into ES before, and if my usecase would be anything more complicated i would definitely go for that route. However, it's still quite some work to setup, and they recommend at least 8GB of RAM for a working instance [1]. I didn't know MySQL had fulltext search as well. I'll look into that. Thanks.
