GCP Next is coming... website makeover... lots of new documentation... and in those newly revamped cloud pages 

and

No mention of the Search API.  You'd think it's intentionally hidden...  haven't seen any announcements about its demise but I am curious because I had planned on trying it soon.

Moreover what used to be called the "Search API" on the App Engine documentation is now labeled as "Searchable Document Indexes".... not it's not an API we swear....

Amen!! It is much more than just an API so this change sounds in the right direction. I hope they put it inside the Storing Data section next, where it belongs.

As can be read in other threads for other topics, our deprecation timeline will leave a healthy margin if such a deprecation were to occur. You can read about this in the Terms of Service. Searchable Document Indexes are quite popular and it's very unlikely that the service would change or go away without an equivalent solution.
