Solr configuration settings, otherwise known as “configsets”, define the data types and behavior available in Solr.

If your Drupal site shows the message “It is advisable to download and deploy an updated config.zip to your Solr server”, or you need to otherwise tweak the behavior of the Acquia-hosted Solr backend, you must deploy new configuration files into Solr.

The following are some example use cases for using a custom configset:

• Altering the list of synonyms and stopwords used by Solr.
• Configuring Solr for various languages.
• Customizing how indexing and searching works in Solr.

To add a Configset:

1. Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface.
2. Go to Codebases and select a codebase.
3. Click Environments and select an environment for which you want to view the add the search index.
