you won't be able to search anything in your Heavy forwarder. As the name implies, it's a forwarder which basically has two functions: Forward the data to an Index/another Heavy Forwarder or even an UF OR ingest data.

In other words, you cannot perform any search against your HF.

Hi There,

What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to be able to search from the Heavy Forwarder? Is the heavy forwarder storing any data or just sending a long? Or would you like to search the contents of the heavy forwarder from another search head?
