# Search applications [search-application-overview]


*Search Applications* enable users to build search-powered applications that leverage the full power of {{es}} and its Query DSL, with a simplified user experience. Create search applications based on your {{es}} indices, build queries using search templates, and easily preview your results directly in the {{kib}} Search UI.

You can also interact with your search applications using the [Search Application APIs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/group/endpoint-search_application). Search Applications are designed to simplify building unified search experiences across a range of enterprise search use cases, using the Elastic platform.

We can add applies_to's to admonitions now, so we don't have to spell out the deployment stuff in prose.

See https://elastic.github.io/docs-builder/syntax/admonitions/#applies-to-information

For {{ech}} and self-managed deployments, this feature is no longer accessible through the navigation menu starting with {{es}} 9.2 and later. It'll be visible to existing users who have previously used it, but new users will not be able to discover or enable this feature through the UI.

You can create build, and manage your search applications directly in the {{kib}} UI under **Search**. Make sure you have at least one {{es}} index to work with on your deployment. The indices underlying your search application are searched together, similar to how an [alias](../../manage-data/data-store/aliases.md) searches over multiple indices.
