> My take is that the Knowledge base side would rather license > a third party search engine. I didn't think that there were any "sides" at Open Text. I could see maybe some issues around recent acquisitions, but they are not like PCDOCS in which there are separate internal companies (like FULCRUM). I would say that any sane company would always evaluate their technology and be big enough to use other technology if it was the best. My impression is that the search engine that OTEXF has is still the best and you benifit by having one company own all the technology. Those companies that license say VERITY are at the whim of that company and it is harder to do cool things.
