Using AppSettings instead of ConfigSections for Episerver Find
In the documentation for Episerver Find it says that you should write like this in your app.config or web.config file:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section
name="episerver.find"
type="EPiServer.Find.Configuration, EPiServer.Find" requirePermission="false"/>
</configSections>
<episerver.find
serviceUrl="http://..."
defaultIndex="myindex"/>
</configuration>There also exist another way to set this up that are a little hidden, and that are to go through the appsettings in the config file. So instead of writing like the above you can write like this:
<appSettings>
<add key="episerver:FindServiceUrl" value="http://..." />
<add key="episerver:FindDefaultIndex" value="myindex" />
</appSettings>
Depending on how you have set up you deployment pipeline this could be a nice way since it is easier to implement config transformation for this I think.

Good to know :)
For my current project, I remove the element first, then insert with different index key
That is true!
Missed to inform about that. Thanks!
@episerver please update the documentation about *Staged deployments* settings in https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/CMS/Deployment/deployment-scenarios/Deploying-to-Azure-webapps/#StagedDeployment to inform about how to enable a separate Find-index on Deployment slots.
