About K2 Server

The Verity K2 Server is a high-performance search engine designed to process searches quickly in a high-performance, distributed system. The K2 search system has a client/server model. K2 client applications, such as ColdFusion Server, provide users access to document indexes stored in Verity collections. K2 Server supports simultaneous indexing of distributed enterprise repositories and handles hundreds of concurrent queries and users. You will see considerable performance improvements when using K2 Server to search Verity collections.

The K2 search system takes advantage of the latest advances in hardware and software technology, and provides the following features:

ColdFusion installs K2 Server by default. You must make minor changes to configure K2 Server to work with ColdFusion.

ColdFusion and K2 Server

ColdFusion includes an OEM-restricted version of the Verity K2 Server. The version of K2 Server that is part of ColdFusion is restricted in the following areas:

If you install a fully licensed version of K2 Server and you configure ColdFusion to use the K2 Broker, ColdFusion will not restrict document searches.

Note:   A K2 Broker receives search requests from users. The broker manages communications between clients and the K2 search process, and aggregates all search results and presents them to the user. The K2 Broker is not packaged with ColdFusion; for more information, visit http://www.verity.com.
