Solved: Replication Factor and Search Factor

Why replication Factor is equal or greater than search factor?

Replication factor (RF) is the number of copies of a bucket. Search factor (SF) is the number of those copies which are searchable. You can't search more copies than you have so SF must be less than or equal to RF.
