The database is just a building block for the search. You still have to implement a lot of logic and smartness on top.

algolia does that out of the box.

It's not that hard though. I'm a junior dev and i managed to implement ES ( AWS hosted of course) for our site search on my on own. If i can do it, pretty sure majority of people can do it.

nothing like this is hard. being Junior or not has nothing to do with it. it's a question of investing time/money
