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 with Solr 7, 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.
Configuring Acquia Search with Solr 7 instructions
Note
- 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.
Add the required modules and configuration to your sites. For more
information, see Installing Acquia Search with Solr 7 for Drupal 9 or later.
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.
