JAVA
Search all is powered by the Elasticsearch engine. To install Elasticsearch on a Windows environment you need to install JAVA version 7 or newer or OpenJDK version 11 on that machine.
An additional server for Search All engine
The Elasticsearch engine is supported by Exact on Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 and 2016 platforms.
We advise to use dedicated server(s) to install the Search All
service on.
For redundancy, in the case of a server failure, we advise to install the search service on more than one server.
