## What it is
Elastic Search UI is a JavaScript library for rapidly building modern, customizable search experiences backed by Elasticsearch or other search APIs. It is headless, separating search state and logic from presentation, with optional React components and support for vanilla JavaScript or other frameworks.

## Use cases
- add a search page to my website backed by Elasticsearch
- build an ecommerce product search with filters and facets
- implement search-as-you-type autocomplete in React
- create a search bar in the site header with URL-persisted queries
- build a documentation or site search interface quickly
- connect a custom search API to a frontend search UI

## When to choose
- you want a fast, low-boilerplate search experience on top of Elasticsearch or Elastic Enterprise Search
- you need a headless search state layer usable with React, Vue, or vanilla JS
- you want smart URLs capturing queries, filters, and paging out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a non-search application UI or general-purpose component library
- your backend is not Elasticsearch or a search API you can wrap in a connector
- you require App Search or Workplace Search integrations, which are deprecated
