Can't uninstall default search module

I have the same problem on a current 2.40 install. I found the dependency declared in the profile's commerce_base.info.yml in web/profiles/contrib/commerce_base. I deleted the line with - search in the file, then I could uninstall the search module without further problems.

As I understand, this is more of a question of performance, so should we just ignore it for now? Or is this just a leftover and I can just delete this dependency and uninstall the search without any problems? Could this be fixed in a newer version of the profile?

Closing this as "won't fix". The project base template isn't the composer template that is actively maintained. We now recommend using the Kickstart project template. see https://docs.drupalcommerce.org/.
