Acquia Search
Adding Acquia Search to your website creates a rich index of your website
content and enables site visitors to find content faster so they stay on
your website longer.
Acquia Search provides your website with the following features:
- Solr search as a service
Acquia Search is an easy to configure Solr search service letting you
deliver flexible Drupal website search capabilities in minutes.
- Faster searches
Your visitors can find what they are looking for faster than using Drupal’s
built-in search. Acquia Search has delivered searches with a 60% to
500% improvement in response time compared to the built-in search.
- High availability
Acquia’s Solr search infrastructure ensures consistent availability of
your website’s search index.
- Secure connectivity
Acquia has implemented an HMAC authentication mechanism for Acquia Search
limiting access to an index to only authorized sites. All data transmits
through SSL if the client server supports it. Acquia Search also respects
Drupal node access controls, enabling search content limited to authorized
visitors.
- Multi-entity and attachment searches
Visitors can search through multiple types of content—not only content
nodes, but also users, taxonomy terms, or your own custom entity types.
Search also can include the contents of files attached to your
websites.
- Better knowledge of the data structure
Acquia Search systematically understands when content changes, and
updates the index which means updating your index requires one small
change, instead of waiting for a crawler to check your entire website for
changes. Better knowledge of the data structure also means the index can
contain metadata not visible to crawlers.
