Overview of Verity Collections

ColdFusion incorporates the Verity searching and indexing technology. It provides a means for creating and managing collections of indexed data that are optimized for fast retrieval.

 

For fast searching, you can take advantage of the Verity Server. This server caches collection information so that data is retrieved more quickly when searches run with  the cfsearch tag. The Verity Server technology also makes searching more scaleable if you have the Enterprise edition of ColdFusion.

 

To use Verity indexing and searching technology with ColdFusion, follow these steps:

  1. Create a collection using the Verity Collections or Verity Server pages or at runtime using the he cfcollection tag. For details, see Create a Verity collection or Use Verity Server.

  2. Populate a collection with data to index specific directories. You can also populate a collection using the cfindex tag at runtime. For details, see Populate a Verity collection.

  3. Build searching and indexing capabilities into your application with the  cfindex and cfsearch tags.
