we need to buildWhy not buy?If the company can buy, why isn't it?If the company can't buy, it is under-capitalized and that's a sizable problem because search is a commodity.Anyway, the best search experience is not needing to search for the same reason that I don't enjoy searching for my car keys when I am trying to commute to work.Good luck.

Building it yourself is the better option nowadays.
Start with open-source Meilisearch, and don't look back.
The "buy" options people talk about are tired-old snake oil, and you'll end up with buyer's remorse.
