Hi there
I have a web application that is using "Microsoft Search Server 2010 Express" for searching contents of *.doc and *.pdf documents.
We are planning to upgrade Windows Server from WS 2008 to WS 2016.
And from the OS requirement spec for MS Search Server 2010 , I can see it is supported until 2008.

And also it is not very clear if MS Search Server 2010 Express will be supported after 13/10/2020.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/lifecycle/search?alpha=Search%20Server%202010

Can you please guide me with using alternative document search product that can be used for document content searching as a library for a application

Thanks & Kind Regards
Jegadeesh Sakthivel

    Search Server Express goes out of support as of October 13th, 2020. You should instead consider deploying SharePoint Server 2019 for your search needs or if you have a Microsoft 365 deployment, look into Microsoft Search + Power BI Data Management Gateway + File Share connector.
