Verity support

Does ColdFusion support the using of other Verity Search Engines?

I'm not sure what you mean by "other Verity Search Engines"
ColdFusion MX 7 ships with an integrated version of Verity 5.5.
ColdFusion MX Enterprise supports connecting to a K2 Server in a distributed configuration.

ColdFusion MX supports the use of Verity Spider (vspider)
See http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00001781.htm
ColdFusion MX supports the use of several Verity Utilities

I have a customer that has their own Verity Search engine installed (not ColdFusion). I need to know if I can configure ColdFusion Admin to point to the customers verity search engine.

Every thing I have read about verity refers to the ColdFusion Verity Search Engine. I need to know if I can configure ColdFusion Admin. to use a non ColdFusion verity server.

He can connect to a Verity K2 Enterprise Server as long has he has an Enterprise license of ColdFusion
He would choose the "Verity K2 Server" link under "Data & Services"

I'm not an expert in verity and CF but I don't think he could use his own K2 install and have it work with CF, reason being is that I don't think that Verity would understand the CF tags that are in CF, like the tags to update a collection and so forth, not to mention that the version of verity that comes with CF to my knowledge is not the full blown verity and verity to my knowledge out of the box does not support CF only asp and jsp.

If Im mistaken on this please correct me but from my experiance this is what I gathered from it.
