What's wrong with running Solr/ES? It is trivial to run either in standalone mode, and it is a lot easier to set up autocomplete with misspelling support than messing with PG. Algolia is a good option if you have the budget.

With this small quantity of data, usually the app's running on a small VM. I'm wary of running anything Java, having had it require large amounts of RAM before.

That said, I haven't touched JVM stuff for 5+ years.
