In SearchStax, search apps function as your search servers. To migrate from your legacy Acquia Search configuration, you first need to log in to SearchStax and create a new Search App in your preferred cloud region.
Important
Acquia recommends that you configure different SearchStax apps for different environments.
Do not to use a single search app across all environments.
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.
