Do we need to have Thunderstone search appliance to use Webinator in our local machine? If not where will it store the site indexing/crawling information?
Can we have webinator in our local machine and use the Search appliance that is installed at remote place?

[mark]

No, Webinator and the appliance are independant products. Webinator will store the indexing information where you tell it to when creating a profile. Fill in the desired location for "dataspace".
