Knowledgebase

Answer / Solution

The size of the index varies and depends on many factors:

• the number of actually indexable files (xlsx and txt are indexable... exe, images & videos are not)
• the size of the files

For an average drive, the required space ranges between less than 0.01% of the target to 1%.

For a very high ratio of textual content, up to 30% of the target size might be necessary, but this is quite rare.
