[Articles](https://metadrop.net/en/articles) # Drupal 8, Search API and Solr 8 Tuesday, February 18, 2020 We created an easy example to run [Drupal 8](https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal) with [Search API](https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api) and [Solr 8.](https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr) The current project is released as practical example to setup and run a sandbox environment. We created a git repository with a template to run this project. You will find all the required steps and explanations on the [README.md](https://bitbucket.org/metadrop/drupal-8-search-api-solr-8/src/master/README.md) document. We created an easy example to run [Drupal 8](https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal "Drupal 8") with [Search API](https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api "Drupal 8 Search API") and [Solr 8.](https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr "Drupal 8 Search API Solr") We use the latest version of Drupal Core (8.7.9), Search API Solr (8.3.7) and Solr 8 to run a simple sandbox project to test and play around. The current project can be run using a custom configuration or using tour example configuration (recommended). We use a the Wodby [Docker4Drupal](https://wodby.com/docker4drupal "Docker-based Drupal stack") image to run a project based on [*Composer template for Drupal projects*](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project "Composer template for Drupal projects. Quick installation via "composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project" ") The Solr 8 example template works fine, but you can add a per-language translation configuration (like Spanish). You can read more about it on the official [Language Analysis](https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_0/language-analysis.html "Solr 8 Language Analysis") documentation. We created a git repository cotnaining a template to run the project. You will find all the required steps and explanations on the [README.md](https://bitbucket.org/metadrop/drupal-8-search-api-solr-8/src/master/README.md "Drupal 8, Search API and Solr 8") document. To review and test the project, follow this link: - [Drupal 8](https://metadrop.net/en/articles?text=Drupal%208) [Solr](https://metadrop.net/en/articles?text=Solr) [Search API (Drupal module)](https://metadrop.net/en/articles?text=Search%20API%20%28Drupal%20module%29) ## Related projects - ### [Solvay](https://metadrop.net/en/projects/solvay) An international reaction [Drupal Search Optimization with Solr / Elastic Search](https://metadrop.net/en/solutions/solr-elastic-search-drupal " See Drupal Search Optimization with Solr / Elastic Search") Metadrop integrates Apache Solr and Elasticsearch with Drupal, delivering faceted search, multilingual indexing, and high-performance results for large-scale content platforms.
