When you create a UI you can place it as a block on the website.
However, it would be nice to add a static route to the search on which the search UI appears.
It could work like this:
When the user checks a box, a route is provided. This could be a static route like /search-api-decoupled/{endpoint_name}. The route should be displayed, when the checkbox is active, ideally as a link that opens in a new window.
Using page URL aliases, any path can be configured for the search.
The same permissions as for accessing the endpoint could apply.

a.dmitriiev commentedThe new checkbox was added to "UI Elements" page of endpoint:
If this checkbox is checked, the page
/search-api-decoupled/{search_api_endpoint_machine_name}is available with the block "Search API Endpoint". As it is a normal Drupal page it is also possible to place other blocks on this page.Comment #8
breidert commentedI tested it and it works fine. I made a small change to the description of the toggle, so users can easily find the search page.
