I am struggling with a product search solution for a fairly messy catalog for products with a lot of technical specifications. Expected queries like 30 l box or R 32 compatible or IDs written as 32-3256-67 etc. I've tried the standard keyword search stack. The results were abysmal. I noticed even Google isn't that reliable for these kinds of queries. One way would surely be to clean up the catalog and introduce proper fields for all that and apply filters. But that's a lot of manual work. Do I have to just live with that?

You could just build your own like you offered here. Rule 1.
