: What to do to notify search engines of of a cms switch Wordpress->Drupal? I'm switching a website from wordpress to drupal. The structure and content of the new website will be slightly different

The search engines don't care about your CMS. There's nothing special you need to do.
Next time they crawl your site, they'll hit some 404s and eventually drop those pages, and find some new ones, just like any other time. That's the more or less no-effort approach.

If you've done extensive and ideally predictable rearranging of your URLs, you should set up 301 redirects for as many of them as possible. You'll find plenty of examples for various common patterns in the 301-redirect tag. That will explicitly tell them that those pages have moved from X to Y location, rather that simply being unavailable at the moment, and help indexes get updated faster, etc.
