hi I installed splunk on Win 2012 R2 server which has 6 CPUS, 14GB RAM . But still I am receiving a warning about reaching the maximum number of concurrent searches, if I increase the CPUs is there a chance that I will not receive this warning and will make my search faster?

thank you so much!

you dont meet the minimum requirements of reference hardware.

also, considering your other question, here is a link regarding concurrent searches
