I would say it's time to start thinking about alternatives/further encourage the adoption of elastic search and clean up the search code in general.
I still have a, perhaps misguided, fondness for zebra. I'm not sure Koha has always used it to its strengths and it certainly has its own issues.. but it is significantly lighter weight to run and has a place as a genuine alternative to the rather heavy elasticsearch.. I'd love to see a lightweight option replace zebra as an option one day but I don't think it's a priority quit yet..might be worth some experimenting though given its dwindling support higher up the river.
