We have a SharePoint farm with Sharepoint Enterprise Search enable, configured and running. There is also SharePoint Foundation installed and running with a WSS_SEARCH Database attached to it. <br />
<br />
The question is, do I need that? Can I remove? What is the impact?<br />

Thanks

Remove Sharepoint Foundation Search from Sharepoint Server without breaking Sharepoint Search
