Looking for search functionality options

Just in the middle of updating my website and was previously using Universal AJAX Live Sarch from Offlajn. Back in 2016 it worked well but have renewed licence to get the latest version and there are a few issues. Sent a support request so we'll see what happens. 

However over the weekend I decided to search this forum and found a thread discussing JoomlaGeek ElasticSearch so decided to give it a whirl. First impressions are the documentation (referring to setting up ElasticSearch on AWS) could definitely do with updating. Once I managed to get it working, I immediately noticed the right search button doesn't work (by design apparently !!!). Unfortunately that wasn't my only gripe as the indexing process adds the article id to each URL so my previously nicely configured SEF URLs now have "XX-" prefixing the title alias. In fairness I didn't really research this Joomla component thoroughly before purchasing and suspect it might be absolutely perfect some people. 

Therefore I am wondering what extensions other developers are using?
