Windchill Index Search Installation
Indexing is the process of extracting text strings of attribute values from Windchill objects and sending them to a search engine, which then builds indices optimized for searching. This enables users to efficiently search for data stored in Windchill, without having to know anything about the internal object model. Windchill solutions provide the option of installing Windchill Index Search to help with indexing.
Windchill Index Search Client
From the PTC Solution Installer window, select the PTC Windchill Index Search Client checkbox under Select Product > PTC Windchill Base Solution Add-ons.
The following index server configurations can be used with Windchill Index Search:
• Windchill Index Search Client with Index Search Server running in standalone mode. For more information, see Installing the Index Search Server in Standalone Mode.
• Windchill Index Search Client with Index Search Server running in high availability mode (cloud mode). For more information, see Installing the Index Search Server in Cloud Mode.
