Issues with integrating third party search engine

Question

hi,
I have two issues.
1. my integration with Stellent verity search engine is working for the first time, but when I search again, nothing return, even on the same search criteria. I wonder something wrong with session object, please explain how session, rawsession object works related to getSearchResult(). session object is returned instead rawsession in executeQueryWithSession(), even though rawSearchResult has been set on rawSession.
2. it is very slow for the search result to return, though all the URL are valid. any way to improve the speed?
thanks!
T.J.

Hi T.J.,
the session object itself is normally not the problem. Have you checked that your dynamic WebRM has ha valid cache life time? Nevertheless the cache for the dynamic WebRM should have a life time value of at least 1 min or more (depending on how long you expect your users to browse on the search result)
The performace of the federated search depends on the call time to each connected search engine. It can currently only speed up by the implementation of your search engine. Try to measure the connect time from the IndexService implementation to the search engine. In most cases this is the bottle neck.
