The dtSearch index folder should not be compressed using NTFS compression, because this can slow index access considerably. At least 2 Gb of memory (so Windows will run efficiently)Ģ. Therefore, unless a site receives thousands of searches per hour, the amount of memory needed for dtSearch Web will be very small.ġ. Once the search is done (most searches are completed in substantially less than a second), the memory is released. While a search is executing, dtSearch Web may allocate between 1 and 10 Mb of memory to process that search. As long as Windows can run efficiently (without a lot of disk swapping) little additional memory is needed for dtSearch. Hardware RequirementsĭtSearch Web does not have any specific hardware requirements. There is currently no pre-built search interface for Apache. The Linux version of the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine has a Java and C++ API only, so some programming is needed to make any use of it.

Therefore, even if another web server is fully ISAPI-compliant, dtSearch Web will not be able to detect its web server configuration. ISAPI only covers processing of queries, and does not provide a sufficiently functional mechanism for detecting the virtual directory mappings on the server.

The ISAPI specification does not provide a way to obtain this information. In addition to a supported version of Windows, dtSearch Web also requires Internet Information Server (IIS).ĭtSearch Web uses information in the Windows MetaBase, part of IIS, to detect the web server configuration.

Additional Informationįor information on supported Windows versions, please see dtSearch Engine system requirements (Windows, Linux, macOS). The 64-bit versions are installed in the BIN64 folder under the dtSearch Developer program folder. 64-Bit Operating SystemsĭtSearch Web versions 7.51 and later include a 64-bit version of dtSearch Web and dtSearch Web Setup to use with 64-bit operating systems. Therefore, dtSearch Web cannot be installed on a web server other than Internet Information Server, even if that web server is advertised as supporting ISAPI. Windows 10 or 11 (dtSearch Web 7.80 and later) Windows 8 (dtSearch Web 7.68 and later) Windows 7 (dtSearch Web 7.62 and later) Windows Server 2008 (dtSearch Web 7.51 and later)ĭtSearch Web requires Internet Information Server 6 or later, and requires that the IIS MetaBase be installed. Windows Server 2016 or 2012 (dtSearch Web 7.68 and later) Windows Server 2019 (dtSearch Web 7.93 and later) Windows Server 2022 (dtSearch Web 2021.02 and later) For information on dtSearch Desktop system requirements, please see this article: dtSearch system requirements
