# Add Enterprise Search user settings
<important>
  Enterprise Search is not available in Elastic Stack 9.0+.
</important>

Change how Enterprise Search runs by providing your own user settings. User settings are appended to the `ent-search.yml` configuration file for your instance and provide custom configuration options.
Refer to the [Configuration settings reference](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/configuration.html#configuration-file) in the Enterprise Search documentation for a full list of configuration settings. Settings supported on Elastic Cloud Enterprise are indicated by an Elastic Cloud icon (![logo cloud](https://doc-icons.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/logo_cloud.svg "Supported on Elastic Cloud")).
To add user settings:
1. [Log into the Cloud UI](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-enterprise/log-into-cloud-ui).
2. On the **Deployments** page, select your deployment.
   Narrow the list by name, ID, or choose from several other filters. To further define the list, use a combination of filters.
3. From your deployment menu, go to the **Edit** page.
4. In the **Enterprise Search** section, select **Edit user settings**. For deployments with existing user settings, you may have to expand the **Edit enterprise-search.yml** caret instead.
5. Update the user settings.
6. Select **Save changes**.

<note>
  If a setting is not supported by Elastic Cloud Enterprise, an error message displays when you try to save your settings.
