What are the advantages of Elasticsearch in conjunction with MySQL over MySQL itself?

Question

MySQL

There is a website (Laravel) for finding hotels, a MySQL database (~ 100GB), many people recommend starting using Elasticsearch. I read on the Internet, I did not really understand how he could help me. Full-text search is also available in MySQL. The rest of the moments are very blurry.
What are the advantages of Elasticsearch in conjunction with MySQL over MySQL itself? Will the search speed somehow increase?

Answer 1

ElasticSearch greatly outperforms MySQL in terms of full text search quality.
