## Note for Houdini 18.5-19.5 (Windows)
## Note for Houdini 18.5-20 (Windows)

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.

Download:
Windows x64: [SQLite v3.33.0](https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3330000.zip)

- 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`
By default this is located at: `C:\Program Files\SideFX\Houdini20.0.xxx\bin`
- In the Houdini $HFS/bin folder, locate the `sqlite3.dll` file and either make a backup copy to save elsewhere (just in case), or simply rename it to `sqlite3.dll.bak`
- From the extracted sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3330000.zip, locate the new `sqlite3.dll` then copy and paste it into the `$HFS/bin` folder.
