I believe you can still separate SQL, the limitation is around having only a single application server. Check out this document on TechNet for more info on the differences and choosing between the full and express versions of Search Server

When you say single server, do you mean that it would have local sql as well or can this be separate? From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Brian Farnhill Sent: Tuesday, 14 June 2011 10:33 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: sharepoint search server express 2010 There are a few differences between the two, the biggest of which that I know about is that Search Server Express can only be deployed to a single server, so you lose the ability to add redundancy or scale. If you want the best of both worlds, set up search server on its own box and configure it to crawl your Foundation farm (which can be running as many servers as you need) as an external site. Then you can just direct users to the search site collection on the search server to do search, everything stays in the main farm.

As far as I can tell it is foundation w/ a search service application?
