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 > [@Enterprise Search - EOL](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/enterprise-search-eol/378706): > > Hello, I read this [Enterprise Search FAQ | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/resources/search/enterprise-search-faq) I am bit confused on what Elastic means they want to focus on "Elasticsearch" instead of Enterprise Search. We were looking into using Workplace Search but if its going away with no alternative, then there's no point? Please advise, I could be misunderstanding ---

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](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/search-ui/tutorials-app-search) 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](https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/search/search-applications) ---

Have you checked out [Search UI](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/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](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/search-ui) ---

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