Elasticsearch is shown as the search engine despite OpenSearch installation

This article provides a solution for the issue where Elasticsearch is still shown as the search engine for Adobe Commerce on cloud even after installing or upgrading to OpenSearch.

Affected versions

Adobe Commerce on cloud 2.4.4 - 2.4.5-p11

Issue

Elasticsearch is still shown as the search engine for Adobe Commerce on cloud even after installing or upgrading to OpenSearch.

Steps to reproduce:

Cause

Elasticsearch7 is hard-coded in Adobe Commerce to be the search engine used in these versions.

This is not to be confused with the installed version of the service. Even though there isn’t an Opensearch module included in the code, Adobe Commerce is able to make use of the underlying Opensearch service.

    "build_date" : "2022-11-08T09:23:45.993372Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "8.10.1",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"
