Does Adobe have alternative options for site search and commerce search?

Yes. For product and commerce search, Live Search from Magento Commerce is Adobe’s search application going forward. Live Search from Magento Commerce is targeted to launch in the first half of 2021.

Can Adobe recommend any frameworks or platforms that offer features similar to Search&Promote?
