Hi Ryan, We used to use verity but when we started indexing over 3million files it got very slow indeed. We now use lucene to index flat files and database content. If you are a java coder you can write your own cfx interface to lucene and then anything you can access with java you can index with lucene.
It seems a daunting task at first but once you get your head around how lucene works its really easy. To give you an idea of speed we index over 90,000 flat files in one index and the search takes about 140ms on a Sun E250. (dual proc 300mhz 1gb ram). The indexing is also far quicker.

Can anyone give me a few leads on alternative search engines other than K2? I'd like a few options to explore. BTW, we're indexing text out of a database, not pages on the site. Thanks!
