About Fine-Tuning the Search Service Configuration
The installer sets most Search Service configuration parameters
to useful defaults. In addition to the default configuration file,
the Install_Dir/ptsearchserver/10.3.0/config directory includes template configuration
files for Search Service deployments.
The templates include settings appropriate for a number of operating
systems and RAM configurations. RAM determines the recommended maximum
number of documents in the search collection, and this collection
size determines many of the settings in the template configuration
files. Examine the contents of these files, choose the one appropriate
for your deployment, and rename the template
ignite.ini (the active configuration file).
Note: If the Search Service component
resides on the same host computer as other portal components, consider
using a template tuned for a smaller amount of memory to prevent system
paging that adversely affects Search Service performance.
In some cases you might be able to further improve performance
by modifying some of the values in the ignite.ini file. This section includes the following topics that describe the parameters
in ignite.ini.
