This module **completely disables Magento’s native search engine requirement**, allowing you to: - Simplify Magento's architecture - Avoid unnecessary Elasticsearch & OpenSearch dependencies - Prevent unwanted background processes like search indexation Natively Magento do not offer the possibility to completely disable ElasticSearch, this module does. ✅ What it does -------------- [](#-what-it-does) - Make Elasticsearch service no longer required to install and run Magento2. - Set value "none" as default search engine - Returns empty search results for all frontend catalog search queries - Since Magento 2 Product Listing Pages (PLPs) rely on the search engine to fetch and filter products: - All PLPs will return no products when this module is enabled. - You must implement a custom product listing mechanism (via GraphQL, REST, or direct DB access) in your frontend or headless architecture. - Uninstall magento modules: - magento/module-elasticsearch-catalog-permissions - magento/module-elasticsearch-catalog-permissions-graph-ql - magento/module-inventory-elasticsearch - magento/module-elasticsearch - magento/module-elasticsearch-6 - magento/module-elasticsearch-7 - magento/module-elasticsearch-8 - magento/module-open-search You can continue to index, compile, and run Magento without errors. 🧩 Compatibility --------------- [](#-compatibility) Magento Versionv2.3.0v2.4.3v2.4.4v2.4.6v2.4.8Module Version~0.0.0~0.1.0~0.2.0~0.3.0~0.4.0### Version Notes [](#version-notes) - v0.1.0: adding indexer handler (Magento 2.4.3) - v0.2.0: Reintroduced `magento/module-advanced-search` due to dependency with `catalog-graph-ql` (Magento 2.4.4) - v0.3.0: Added support for uninstalling `magento/module-open-search` - v0.4.0: Added support for uninstalling `magento/module-elasticsearch-8` 🚀 Installation -------------- [](#-installation) ``` composer require zepgram/module-disable-search-engine bin/magento module:enable Zepgram_DisableSearchEngine bin/magento setup:upgrade ``` 🐞 Issue ------- [](#-issue) If you encounter any issues, please open a ticket on the GitHub repository or create a PR. ### Health Score 47 — FairBetter than 94% of packages Maintenance50 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity46 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
