Search services provide access to external repositories without adding documents to the portal Knowledge Directory. Search services are especially useful for content that changes frequently or is only accessed by a small number of portal users. Search services are a way to make content accessible to portal users without adding documents to your portal Knowledge Directory.
Using the IDK, you can create remote search services that access a range of backend systems.
