Depends on needs and operations budget. With my targeted application and small team, we use Postgres full text search. At the time it felt like a fallback choice compared to a dedicated search database. But since it has been in production, we have found it to suit our needs well. This excellent post has a section of full text search.

If we had a mass-audience or content-heavy app and more resources available, we might choose a more in-depth searching solution like elastic or solr.
