Discussion on: What do you use for full-text search these days?

We use Algolia which is a hosted, super low-latency search index and I think it's really well-done. And for some internal search, where performance and other tuning isn't as critical, we use Postgres' native full-text search, as it's the easiest to work with internally, test, etc. as opposed to Solr/ElasticSearch etc. in my book, but it's probably not what you'd want your end user using.

And I can't say I definitely recommend Algolia for all use-cases, but I'm happy with how we're using it. We have a very fast search if I do say so myself :)
