Known Limitations / Bugs:

• - Suggestions are sourced from products not displayable to the customer group.
• - Products are not displayed if not added to the “Default shared catalog”.
• - The Search Adapter does not render the “No” bucket for boolean product attributes even though products are configured with the attribute and the “No” bucket is returned in the response.
• While some products and queries may return non-english results, multi-language queries are not currently supported.
• B2B with Live Search for PWA Studio will not be available until PWA Studio adds support for it.
• Product overrides and product attributes feed may have sync issues requiring admins to run bin/magento indexer:reset and bin/magento indexer:reindex to re-sync correctly.
• If you enable or disable the Catalog Permissions/Shared Catalog/B2B features, the catalog_data_exporter_product_overrides indexer is not updated and incorrectly marked as valid. Use bin/magento saas:resync --feed=productOverrides to fix the issue.

• - Live Search synonyms are defined per store view, but are currently stored per website and identified with a combination of environmentId + storeViewCode. As a result, all websites and store views within the Adobe Commerce installation share the same set of synonyms. The most recently created set of synonyms for the store view takes precedence.

• - If a synonym term contains multiple words, each word is treated as a separate synonym. For example, if you define “time piece” as a synonym of “watch”, both “time” and “piece” are treated as synonyms of watch.
