Using Acquia Search with Site Factory
ADVANCED - Incorrect use of this webpage’s content can share search data between websites in your cluster.
For your Site Factory websites to be able to use Acquia Search, you must install the suite of search modules for your version of Drupal.
For Acquia Search, you do not need to share a single search index. Each website in an environment can have its own Solr index, independent of the same site in other environments or some other sites.
Cloning or creating a Site Factory site does not create a new Solr index for the site. You must create it manually after creating or cloning a site on your Site Factory Management Console.
Although enabling Acquia Connector is not necessary, we recommend that you enable it as it fills in the credentials that you would otherwise have to manually copy from the cloud UI.
Use the Cloud Platform user interface to create indexes for both new and cloned sites. For more information, see Managing search indexes.
When creating an index, the system requires you to specify the Database name.
Select the option that matches the DB Identifier for the site. To get this value, access Site Factory Management Console and click the I icon on the site’s card. For example, ID 371.
If you can’t find your DB Identifier in the list, then you must create an index. Copy the suffix and scroll in the list of DB identifiers to find it.
Use an Acquia-provided config set. Ensure that you use the default_drupal-4.1.1-solr-7.x.0 config set.
Click Add to begin the process of creating your search index. It takes a few minutes to complete.
Once you enable the Acquia Search Multiple Indexes module, confirm that Acquia Search is configured to switch search cores when necessary by performing the steps for your chosen search modules.
The Acquia Search Multiple Indexes module must be enabled or these pages will be inaccessible.
Ensure that your website is not using any of the code overrides included in the Overriding Solr core automatic connection switching documentation page.
