Rebranding notice!

Acquia announces rebranding of its “Acquia CMS” offering, which includes a collection of Drupal modules. “Acquia CMS” is now referred to as “Drupal Starter Kits”.

To use Acquia Search powered by Solr instead of the preconfigured database search:

1.  Do one of the following to enable the Acquia Search module:
    *   Run the Drush command, `vendor/bin/drush en acquia_search`.
    *   Go to the `/admin/modules` page and manually enable the module.
2.  Go to the following URL to view the Tour Dashboard page:
    
    `<Your Acquia CMS FQDN>/admin/tour/dashboard`
    
3.  Scroll down to the **Acquia Search** form.
4.  Enter the identifier, API hostname, and UUID for your Acquia Search instance.
    
    This information is available in your Cloud Platform subscription in the [Product Keys](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/keys) section.
    
5.  Click **Save** to submit the form.
    
    Drupal Starter Kits automatically switches your configuration to the Acquia Search service and reindexes your content on the next cron run.
