Is " Search Applications" end-of-life?

Is "Search applications" end-of-life? I can see it's in Beta in the documentation - I see this in the "Search -> Search applications" page

"Maintenance Mode Notice

Search Applications is in maintenance mode and will only receive security updates and bug fixes in future releases."

Perhaps take a look at

Hi @Sami_Jan - Search Applications is still available but we are not doing active feature maintenance on it.

Thanks Kathleen and Stephen

I want to evaluate Elastic as an alternative to Algolia and Typesense

I wanted to call Elasticsearch using pre-built search widgets - is that possible? This seems to be the only link for building search UIs and it's deprecated: Search UI with App Search | Search UI

Also, I want to use Behavior Analytics - I have a cloud trial but can't find that anywhere

Edit: Is "search applications" something new? it's not "app search"? it seems to be in beta: Search applications | Elastic Docs

Have you checked out Search UI? There are pre built widgets and there is a tutorial for use with Elasticsearch.

Thank you, I'll take a look - I've asked in another question too

Where are the Behavior Analytics in Elastic v 9.x if I use Search UI | Search UI

Behavioral Analytics are not included in 9.x and only in 8.x.
