How do I create a search page?

I have the Search API and the Solr search modules installed. In /admin/config/search/search-api, I see my server and index created and with status set to OK. I can see on the index view page that my content is indexed correctly.

Server and index ok

I did not use the Solr Search Defaults module because I have removed the default Article content type, and I don’t want to recreate it. Without this content type, there is an error when activating the module.

How can I create a search page displaying all indexed results (for anonymous users, not in BO)?

One tutorial shows that Solr Search Defaults module uses views. I’ve created a view, where in View settings > Show I’ve selected Ideas index. In the view, Format > Show is set to Rendered entity. Search index is the view mode. I have a page, but no content is displayed. No filters are required, and all are exposed. enter image description here

Other tutorial says I should create a search page in Configurations > Search and metadata > Search pages menu, but I don’t have that menu.


Here are my Fields for Ideas index. enter image description here Here is another view I’ve tried, with Show > fields enter image description here Here are my error logs, there is a Notice: enter image description here Here is what I see using {{ kint(page.content) }} on my Search results page: enter image description here If I create a view with VIEW SETTINGS > Show > Content my content IS diplayed correctly.
