## Note for Houdini 18.5+
19
-
SideFX has only included SQLite v 3.31.0 with H18.5 and their support has told me they have no plans to upgrade it to 3.33.0 (which has FTS5 enabled (Full-Text Search), which is needed by Searcher). Because of this, an extra step is required to install/use Searcher with Houdini 18.5+ until/unless they decide to include SQLite 3.33.0 instead of 3.31.0.

- Extract the downloaded sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3330000.zip file, then in another window browse to your Houdini installation directory: aka `$HFS/bin`.

By default this is located at: `C:\Program Files\SideFX\Houdini19.0.xxx\bin`

- In the Houdini $HFS/bin folder, locate the `sqlite3.dll` file and either make a backup copy to save elsewhere (just in case), or simply rename it to `sqlite3.dll.bak`
1. Extract/unzip 'Searcher_\<version>.zip'. (ex. Searcher_{#version}.zip) Inside will be a packages and Searcher folder as well as a README.md and a url link to this page.

2. Move the Searcher folder somewhere permanent. It can be placed where ever you would like. Make note of the folder path, as it will be needed in a later step. Examples below:

-
| OS | Path (replace \<user> with your actual username) |
4. Within the 'packages' folder is the Searcher.json file. Open this file in your editor of choice and edit line #27. Within the second set of quotation marks input the path to the Searcher folder from step #2. On Windows, replace the backslashes (\\) in the path with a forwardslashs (/)

Ex. If using Windows and following the example listed above, line 27 would look like this:
5. Save the file and start Houdini. On the main shelf toolbar add the Searcher shelf by clicking on the plus(+) button, then the Shelves tab, followed by selecting "Searcher Shelf" seen in the images below:
