Search Server 2010 Express with full SQL Server 2008

up vote 0 down vote favorite

By default, standalone installation mode of Search Server 2010 Express automatically installs SQL Server 2008 Express.

Is it possible to use standalone mode with full SQL Server 2008, not Express? Or I should install Search Server in Server Farm mode?

In order to use a SQL Server other than the pre-installed SQL Server 2008 Express, you must install Search Server in server farm mode.
