##### Custom lmdb database (optional)
Most unique search abilities of the Onion Explorer are achieved through using
a [custom lmdb database](https://github.com/moneroexamples/lmdbcpp-monero.git) constructed based on the Monero blockchain.
The reason for the custom database is that Monero's own lmdb database has limited
search abilities. For example, its not possible to search for a tx having a
given key image, except by performing an exhaustive search on the blockchain which is very time consuming.
Instruction how to compile the `lmdbcpp-monero` are provided here:
- https://github.com/moneroexamples/lmdbcpp-monero.git
The custom database is rather big, 12GB now, and it must be running alongside Monero deamon
so that it keeps updating itself with new information from new blocks as they are added
to the blockchain. Also, by default it is 10 blocks behind the current blockchain height
to minimize indexing/saving orphaned blocks.
For these reasons, its use is optional. However, without it, some searches wont be possible,
e.g., searching for key images, output and tx public keys, encrypted payments id.
