Hello!

By looking at the search engine compatibility matrix ([https://support.liferay.com/w/search-engine-compatibility-matrix](https://support.liferay.com/w/search-engine-compatibility-matrix) ), it seems that the newest Liferay version (2026.Q1) does not yet support OpenSearch and a new connector will be released on the marketplace.

The Liferay Nexus seems to contain newer versions of OpenSearch sources (1.2.0 API and 1.0.18 IMPL, [https://repository.liferay.com/nexus/#view-repositories;liferay-public-releases~browsestorage](https://repository.liferay.com/nexus/#view-repositories;liferay-public-releases~browsestorage) )

Can you give us an estimate on when this connector will be released?

Is there a way to get OpenSearch running with 2026.Q1? The old configuration for 2025.Q4 ([https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/search/installing-and-upgrading-a-search-engine/opensearch/installing-opensearch](https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/search/installing-and-upgrading-a-search-engine/opensearch/installing-opensearch) ) does not work anymore (even when changing the blacklisting config from elasticsearch7 to elastichsearch8)

Thank you!

We are running DXP 2026.q1.0-lts with Opensearch 2.16.0

1. Get any opensearch2-connector from marketplace
2. Get connector jars from [releases-cdn](https://releases-cdn.liferay.com/opensearch2/dxp/2026.q1.0) (tested with api v1.1.1 and impl v1.0.17)
3. Replace jars inside .lpkg
4. Configure connector:  
OpenSearchConfiguration.config and  
OpenSearchConnectionConfiguration-REMOTE.config
5. Configure BundleBlacklistConfiguration.config

```auto
blacklistBundleSymbolicNames=[\
  "com.liferay.commerce.elasticsearch7",\
  "com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch8.api",\
  "com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch8.impl"\  
]

```
