Which shopify apps can be used with Hydrogen?

I'm pulling out my hair over this, but I cannot seem to find a solid answer over which shopify apps can I use for a new storefront built on Hydrogen 2.0 and Shopify Plus

I can see this page which seems to indicate it is possible "to extend hydrogen build with apps": https://apps.shopify.com/collections/apps-to-extend-hydrogen-build

But I can see no indication on how would I use an app like this (which is created by shopify): https://apps.shopify.com/search-and-discovery

It's fine if the app only provides admin functionality and I need to access the data it creates through APIs (like related/complementary products), but I cannot find any documentation on if it is possible or not.

And when searching for Apps, is it possible to determine (from the "apps store") if said app is usable with hydrogen or is it only for liquid themes?

You have to do some extra actions to support some apps. For example some apps inject css and js in the website and that's how they add their functionality. You have to find those css and js(probably by searching the name of the app in the page source) and add them in your Hydrogen app the way it should be added. Also there are some variables in normal Shopify themes that you should add to your Hydrogen frontend. For example window.Shopify object which by default is not available in Hydrogen. Also the apps that support Apis can be integrated in Hydrogen but even for those which inject CSS and JS, might be possible to be added to your storefront.

All Shopify apps that support the API will work with Hydrogen, like: Back in Stock Alert, Yotpo Product Review,...You can use many other 3rd party services (If these services support via API) like: Algolia Search, Tawk.to (Chat service), SendGrid (for newsletter subscribe), etc..

Hydrogen is nothing but a front-end for Shopify. Anything you're doing with Hydrogen has an analog with the standard theme template system. If an App helps the non-Hydrogen Shopify store front, there is nothing stopping you from using the same App. Why are you pulling out your hair?
