Configure and maintain the search engine

As of version 2.4.4, Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source requires either Elasticsearch or OpenSearch to be the catalog search engine. (Previous versions of 2.4.x required Elasticsearch.) Refer to the following topics for details about installing a search engine and initial configuration:

• Search engine prerequisites
• Configure nginx for your search engine
• Configure Apache for your search engine
• Install the Magento software (command line interface)

After you install and integrate your search engine with Adobe Commerce, you might need to perform additional maintenance:

• Configure search stopwords
• Search engine configuration
