Prerequisites to ensure before you uninstall and remove the Acquia Search module:

• Confirm that the migration is successful.
• Confirm that indexing is complete.
• Verify that Acquia Search powered by SearchStax functions as expected in your production environment.

To remove the module:

1. Remove any remaining legacy Acquia Search configuration, such as Search server, Search index, and Search views.
2. Disable the Acquia Search module.
3. Disable the Acquia Connector module.
4. Conduct comprehensive testing of the changes to ensure the capabilities of Acquia Search powered by SearchStax continue to function as expected.
5. Export configuration or record configuration changes.
6. Commit and deploy the changes.

   Important

   If your site uses the Acquia Drupal Starter Kit Toolbar, do not remove the Acquia Search module from your codebase because it is a dependency for the Acquia Drupal Starter Kit Common module, which is further a dependency for the Acquia Drupal Starter Kit Toolbar. Retaining the disabled Acquia Search module in the codebase does not affect site functionality.

8. Commit and deploy the changes.
9. Conduct user testing and ensure that features function as expected.
10. Delete your Legacy Acquia Search index from Acquia Cloud in the Cloud Platform user interface. For instructions, visit Delete a Solr index.
