Modules for Acquia Search¶

Installing the required modules¶

To use Acquia Search with your Drupal website, you must download, install, and enable the following recommended modules based on your installed version of Drupal:

Use stable releases only for all modules.

Drupal 9 or later

Before trying to install the Drupal modules needed to use Acquia Search, ensure you meet the following requirements:

• Use only the specified module versions for websites running on Drupal 9 or later. Other module combinations have not been tested, and may not work as intended.
• The Drupal 9 or later procedure requires you already have Composer to properly manage the autoloader, and other files.

Drupal 7

For Drupal 7, you must pick one of the two module ecosystems that can use Solr:

• Option A (recommended): Use the Search API module ecosystem

  Required modules:

  • acquia_connector.module
  • search_api.module
  • search_api_solr.module

• Option B: Use the Apache Solr Search Integration module ecosystem

  Required modules:

  • acquia_connector.module
  • acquia_search.module
  • apachesolr.module

This decision should be based on your own research and testing. We recommend researching the search-related features you want to implement on your website and compare them to what these module ecosystems use.
