Use the Verity K2 Server page to establish a link to the Verity Server for faster searching. Follow these steps:
In the ColdFusion Administrator navigation frame, click Server>Verity Server. The Verity K2 Server page appears.
Enter the IP Address of the K2 server.
Specify the port number of the K2 server.
Click Submit Changes to save the connection.
Before you can establish a Verity K2 Server connection, you have to create an alias that the server can use to find the collection. Add this alias manually to the K2server.ini file, which is located by default in the Cfusion\Bin directory. The alias should then be included as the collection name in the cfsearch tag.
When using the cfsearch tag, do not specify "external" as a parameter. The Verity K2 Collections page lists all the online collection alias names that can be searched.
Make sure the K2 Server is configured (through the K2server.ini file) and started before executing a search.
Check the Verity Collections page (accessed through the Verity Collections link) to be sure that the alias collection names are unique and are not duplicated on the Verity Collections page.
