  To create an index of data from a directory:  
 
  1. Create a collection in the Administrator.
  2. If not already selected in the list of collections, select the collection you want to populate and click Index.
  3. Edit the list of file extensions, if necessary.
  4. Enter a directory path you want to index in the form:
  5. Enter a URL to return for documents returned in a search operation against this collection. For example, if you are indexing the ColdFusion documentation directory and subdirectories, the directory you index could be c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfdocs. You would enter the return URL as:
    http://my_server/cfdocs/
    
  6. Click Index. ColdFusion populates the collection with data from the specified directory.

Note that Verity collections, including those that index query data, can be created using the CFCOLLECTION tag, and can be populated using the CFINDEX tag in your ColdFusion application pages.
