After you add the latest version of the SearchStax module to your codebase, install it in a non-production environment on Acquia Cloud.
To do this, navigate to Extend and enable the following modules:
- SearchStax: This module redirects searches through appropriate endpoints and enables analytics.
- Solr to SearchStax Site Search Migration: This module facilitates the migration of indexes.
Acquia Search powered by SearchStax provides new servers, known as apps. Replace your old Acquia Search server configuration with the new SearchStax configuration. Start by logging in to SearchStax to create a Search App in the desired cloud region. Detailed instructions for creating a Search App are available here.
Acquia Search powered by SearchStax provides six search apps by default, with one app for each cloud environment. Local environments can use the shared development appliance, purchase additional apps, or use local Solr servers within the local development environment such as Lando, DDEV, and Docksal. For more information about configuring a local Solr server, visit Custom Solr configuration.
