Can I completely separate Search Header and Index?

[nanaruru12]

Is it possible to separate Search Header and Index?

ex) one system for only Search Head & another system for only Index

I did set up distributed search features (2 servers) and both have S.H and Index

If i want 1 Search Header & 1 Index on different server, then how can i figure this out?
