What is Livelink Discovery Server and what happened to BRS/Search?

BRS/Search is now called Livelink Discovery Server. The name Livelink Discovery Server characterizes the fundamental capability of BRS/Search—enabling organizations to manage large scale information retrieval challenges, using state-of-the-art search functionality including query processing, search federation, text analysis, concept mining, result clustering, and categorization. The name is part of a standard nomenclature that will be used for all OpenText products that constitute a component of our high-level Enterprise Content Management offering.

Livelink Discovery Server builds upon the functionality of BRS/Search. Our powerful information retrieval feature set has been expanded to include new capabilities, such as concept mining, text analysis, result clustering, categorization, and a new Java Web-based user interface.

Will OpenText continue support the development of BRS/Search?

Yes. Development of the latest version of Livelink Discovery Server continues according to schedule.

Will I need to purchase Livelink Enterprise Server to continue to use BRS/Search?
