I had heard no shortage of warnings against using Lucene/elasticsearch to host my own basic search. But it was incredibly easy to implement and about as painless as running an apache server. For a self hosted project I can recommend it. Is it Algolia? No. Did I need Algolia? Also no. But it has been running for 5 years with barely any need to touch it once it was set up. Happy days for a hobby project, or a project with on-premises requirements.
