We kept search service unchecked while running Services configuration wizard after sharepoint was first setup so currentky Sharepoint search  is in disabled state.

However  we now  would like to use only search document feature in libraries. which is not working .

is these 2 are related what will be best way to now enable serach aned config=ure so as it doesnt create more load /resource usage or  shaould we add new server in farm and run search service there?

Hello,

What version of sharepoint you are using?

If you have not created service service yet then please create it otherwise you won't be able to search documents.

Correct me if i misunderstood you

You will need to set search up in full to get any search facilities. Your farm is, from memory, a 2013 farm rather than 2010 so this is probably in the wrong forum.

Depending on the size, load and use of your SharePoint farm you may need to scale this out onto another server but we don't have the information to advise on that at the moment.

 thanks

so this means even if the search document ( not text/strings) we shall need search service enabled.

We are using Sharepoint 2013.

looks like I posted in wrong forum

Yes, as Alex already mentioned, you will need to configure SharePoint 2013 search for any search functionalit

thanks again

Since service is in disbaled state so dio i need to enable it manually or go through steps as per Some MS Article.

Yes, and here is that article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg502597.aspx
