MyISAM is a storage engine for the databases supported by Tiki: MariaDB, MySQL and Percona Server for MySQL.

It is supported since the beginning of Tiki (2002). In 2017, the default storage engine became InnoDB for Tiki data. However:

MyISAM still works just fine, and you can use if your host doesn't support InnoDB. And you can easily convert later.
Even if InnoDB is used for Tiki data, MyISAM is still used for the Unified Index when MariaDB / MySQL / Percona Server is used for MySQL Full Text Search. Ref: Unified Index Comparison.
