Install on your SharePoint Servers doing the indexing the Farm.
In the case of a multi tier farm, if you have no compatibility concerns or security issues, install on all servers in the Farm in case you move the indexing role around.


Lastly, upload a .TIFF with some text, run an indexing job and check the search results.
