What Postgres Full Text Search Is Missing

Manticore is seldom mentioned around here but it seems to be a really good alternative [1]. The fact that is the search engine Craigslist uses gives them a lot of credibility.

This may be a bit silly, but I wonder if the design of their blog and website makes them look a bit "old fashioned" or something.

Funny you mentioned because I also get that vibe from the Manticore website. We do judge books by their covers afterall.

Manticore is primarily oriented towards the MySQL world

It uses the MySQL protocol and has some extra features for MySQL users like the Federated engine [1], so it should definitely be nice for MySQL users. But it also has an HTTP API [2] so sending data to manticore should be no different than sending it to Elastic, Meili or whatnot.
