Hi Michael,

Thank you for the question and the followup!

We have most certainly been releasing improvements that benefit the end user. In 7.x, here are some features App Search has released:

- [Meta Engines](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-enterprise-search-updates-for-7-6-0) – for cross-engine searching.
- [Configurable Limits](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-app-search-7-7-0-released) – so users can adjust some defaults that were set for SaaS.
- [ILM support](https://www.elastic.co/blog/whats-new-elastic-enterprise-search-7-9-0-free-workplace-search-kibana-access) – users can set analytics and log retention, and manage it with Elastic Stack ILM tools.
- [Search UI](https://github.com/elastic/search-ui) – a comprehensive set of front-end libraries
- [Cloud SSO](https://www.elastic.co/blog/whats-new-elastic-enterprise-search-7-10-0-slack-connector-increased-doc-security) – for smoother login management.
- [App Search on Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-enterprise-search-updates-for-7-6-0), so users have access to more hosting locations
- A self-managed version of App Search, in case you wanted to spin up your own

Hope that helps!
