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”.

Compatibility issues

### Incompatibility between Drupal Starter Kits Search and Drupal Search modules

The [Drupal Starter Kits Search](https://www.drupal.org/project/acquia_cms_search) module is not compatible with the Drupal core [Search](https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/core/modules/search/overview) module.

### Inaccurate search results in production environments

If you stage down from a production environment to a non-production environment, the system might return inaccurate or empty search results in the production environment.

_Workaround:_

Add the following snippet in the `settings.php` file:

    if (isset($_ENV['AH_SITE_ENVIRONMENT'])) {
      // Setting for Acquia Hosting Envs.
      switch ($_ENV['AH_SITE_ENVIRONMENT']) {
        case 'dev':
          $settings['acquia_search.settings']['override_search_core'] = 'ALQT-201252.dev.dhsinternet';
          break;
    
        case 'test':
          $settings['acquia_search.settings']['override_search_core'] = 'ALQT-201252.test.dhsinternet';
          break;
    
        case 'prod':
          // Site Factory may require a different value depending on site
          // configuration.
          $settings['acquia_search.settings']['override_search_core'] = 'ALQT-201252.prod.dhsinternet';
          break;
        default:
          $settings['acquia_search']['read_only'] = TRUE;
      }
    } else {
      // Local Dev envs
      // Read only mode
      $settings['acquia_search']['read_only'] = TRUE;
      // Force pointing non-prod Search Core
      $settings['acquia_search']['override_search_core'] = 'ALQT-201252.test.dhsinternet';
    }

Installation issues
-------------------

### Unable to download the `packages.json` file

The `packages.json` file could not be downloaded. You can find the file in the following location:

`https://asset-packagist.org/packages.json`

_Workaround_:

1.  If you installed Drupal Starter Kits through `acquia/drupal-recommended-project` or `acquia/acquia-cms-project` (deprecated), you must remove the entry for asset-packagist.org from your `composer.json` file. For more information, see [Removing Asset Packagist](https://github.com/acquia/drupal-recommended-project/pull/112/files).
2.  After you remove the source entry for `asset-packagist.org`, you must run `composer update`, commit, and deploy the resulting changes to you lock file.
