Yeah, I've had K2 on the brain ever since we standardized on it. We always setup Verity so that we can directly map VDK collections 1:1 with K2 aliases, which enables us to migrate to/from K2 as needed without changing anything in the code. We have an XML configuration file element named "search-name" that contains the collection name, which is either CollectionName_VDK or CollectionName_K2, and our searches just point to the appropriate collection. That way if a customer needs to migrate to a host that doesn't offer K2, or if K2 is giving him a problem for some reason, we simply change the search-name from _K2 to _VDK and he's set.
The only way we can do this is by always keeping Custom index entries out of the collections that contain File and Path index entries. Hell, I've got Plum on the brain! ;) Thanks for pointing this out, Dave. Sorry for any confusion, folks.
