​Here you can view a brief demo video of how you can use the Drupal and Search API Solr UI to edit and generate the Solr configuration files (or configset) including synonyms, stopwords, etc.

Watch a video walkthrough

Overview of the steps:

• Log into your Drupal site.
• Configure your Drupal site with the languages you want to use with Solr.
• Ensure you have a working Search API Solr server and index.
• Go to the Search API admin UI. Navigate to the Index and click on the "Custom field types" tab.
  • Here you can manually edit the stopwords, synonyms, etc. within the Search API "Index" UI. Those changes are kept in the Drupal database.
  • This step is optional; you can keep the default stopwords and other settings provided by Search API.
• To apply the configuration to Solr:
  • Export the Solr configuration file set (or configset) using the Get Config.zip button in the Search API UI.
  • You can then apply the Configset into your Acquia Search (or other) Solr instance.
