+'@backstage/plugin-search-backend-module-elasticsearch': patch
+---
+
+Index templates can now be configured through configuration under the `search.elasticsearch.indexTemplates`. In addition, the `ElasticSearchSearchEngine.fromConfig` now also accepts a `LoggerService` as the `logger` option as well as a new `translator` option.
+
+The alpha `searchModuleElasticsearchEngine` export no longer accepts options.
