Configuring deployer for Solr
The Search module uses SI4T to connect the publishing process to the Apache Solr search indices. Configure your deployer web application to use the SI4T storage extension.
Before you begin
In order to install SI4T in a SDL Web 8 deployer, you must install hotfix CD_8.1.0.1418. Contact the SDL Customer Support to learn where you can obtain the hotfix.

deployer-install.ps1 PowerShell script:
'.\deployer-install.ps1' -deployerRootFolder "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite" -indexerUrl "http://localhost:8080/solr/staging"Otherwise, use the following procedure.
