I have Sharepoint Foundation 2010 installed in our Staging environment. But now I would like to install Microsoft Search Server Express 2010 (SSE) also on Staging due to its advanced search features. I have the following questions
1.) Is it possible/advisable to install SSE 2010 on the server even though Sharepoint Foundation 2010 already exists on the same server?
2.) Will the installation of SSE 2010 automatically lead to the upgrade of Sharepoint 2010 Foundation to SSE 2010 express?
3.) http://sharepointcommunity.de/forums/t/8126.aspx , I came across this post in the forum where Olaf Didszun mentions that it does not cause any harm to install SSE 2010 even when SPF 2010 is already installed. Can you kindly verify the same.
Thanks in advance for your support on this.
P.S: My German is not so good , though I can understand the same, kindly execuse me for writing in english.
Regards
Shruti
