Download Search Tool
This page will allow you to download the Search Tool as a Java JAR file that can be run from the command line
using the following command:
java -jar MetaProx.jar
It is also possible to specify initial and
maximum heap sizes using the -Xms and -Xmx arguments. For example, to launch the Search
Tool with an initial heap size of 500MB and a maximum of 700MB, the following command would be used:
java -Xms500M -Xmx700M -jar MetaProx.jar
We recommend specifying additional memory beyond the
default setting for the Java Virtual Machine, which is typically around 64MB for the initial heap size. However,
even the default heap size will usually allow the Search Tool to return up to several hundred hits and the the
Java Virtual Machine will attempt to progressively adjust its heap size with each subsequent search.
Please note, in order to use the Search Tool you will require Java 8 or greater to be installed on your machine. We recommend installing the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to ensure optimal usage. It might also be necessary to set the PATH system variable for your operating system.
