cfindex
Description
Populates a Verity collection with metadata and creates indexes for searching it. Verity is a search
engine that you can integrate in a ColdFusion application to search physical files of various types
or a database query. Indexing database columns that result from a query lets users search the query
data much faster than they could if you used multiple SQL queries to return the same data.
You must define a Verity collection using the ColdFusion MX Administrator or the
cfcollection
tag before creating indexes for the collection.
You also can index a Verity collection using the ColdFusion MX Administrator or by using a
native Verity indexing tool, such as Vspider or MKVDK. These options, however, limit you to
indexing a collection of files in a directory path.
For more information on creating, indexing, and searching a Verity collection, see Chapter 24,
“Building a Search Interface” in
ColdFusion MX Developer’s Guide .
