Overview of this book

Learning Drupal can be challenging because of its robust, extensible, and powerful capability for digital experiences, making it difficult for beginners to grasp and use it for application development. If you’re looking to break into Drupal with hands-on knowledge, this Drupal 10 Masterclass is for you. With this book, you’ll gain a thorough knowledge of Drupal by understanding its core concepts, including its technical architecture, frontend, backend, framework, and latest features. Equipped with foundational knowledge, you’ll bootstrap and install your first project with expert guidance on maintaining Drupal applications. Progressively, you’ll build applications using Drupal’s core features such as content structures, multilingual support, users, roles, Views, search, and digital assets. You’ll discover techniques for developing modules and themes and harness Drupal’s robust content management through layout builder, blocks, and content workflows. The book familiarizes you with prominent tools such as Git, Drush, and Composer for code deployments and DevOps practices for Drupal application management. You’ll also explore advanced use cases for content migration and multisite implementation, extending your application’s capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll not only have learned how to build a successful Drupal application but may also find yourself contributing to the Drupal community.

Configuring search

The search settings can be found at admin/config/search/pages and are shown in the following figure:

Figure 12.4 – Out-of-the-box search configuration

The first section of Figure 12.4 highlights both the status of the index and the ability to re-index the entire Drupal application. Recall that Drupal leverages a queue to collect content changes and synchronize the index. This section demonstrates the state of the queue, which can help you understand if the index has all of the changes in Drupal or if CRON needs to process changes for the index to match Drupal’s content.

Important note

The indexing process can be very helpful in triaging issues with search. CRON runs periodically, and changes to content should not remain in the queue indefinitely. Having a large number of items to index can often be a sign of an issue. A safe starting point is checking Drupal’s logs for errors related to searches.
