I think "full-text indexing" is a very different problem than "search."
Full-text indexing (what ES provides) has been around for almost forever, ES just does a way better job of productizing/delivering it.
However, Google is far more than a text index. Ranking, currently is still very difficult and requires messing around with facet and weighting parameters.
