Disable Search Engine

Disable default search engine in Magento2 and catalog search fulltext indexing.

Purpose

When catalog search and display are not handled by your Magento it could be redundant to integrate ES in your architecture.

You may have a PIM dedicated for this, or maybe you are designing a microservice architecture, you want to smooth the Magento monolith aspect etc…

Natively Magento do not offer the possibility to completely disable ElasticSearch, this module made it possible.

What it does

• Make Elasticsearch service no longer required to install and run Magento2.
• Set value “none” as default search engine
• Return empty response from front-end queries
• 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-open-search

You should have no issue with indexation, compilation and even front-end research, which should always return no result.

Compatibility

Notes
