$\begingroup$ ElasticSearch is a text search engine as can serve as a database. Simple use case can be as simple as providing recommendations based on input text like lyric search etc. $\endgroup$– Kiritee GakSep 20, 2017 at 6:00

Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics.
ElasticSearch is a search engine based on Lucene.
ElasticSearch uses parts of NLP (e.g., tokenization and stemming). ElasticSearch also includes software engineering elements to ensure a search solution is performant.
Since NLP is entire discipline, there are many parts of NLP that are not related to ElasticSearch.
