The Content Analyzer package is the software that performs the entity extraction operations. The Content Analyzer reads the content indexing data from the Search Engine and adds metadata when it encounters a specified entity.
During entity extraction, no data is stored on the Content Analyzer. All of the content indexing data and entity metadata are stored in the content index directory on the Search Engine client.
