The ColdFusion Verity implementation supports a wide array of document types. This means you can index Web pages, ColdFusion applications, and many binary document types and produce search results that include summaries of these documents.
The following table lists the supported document types.

To create an index of data from a directory: |
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfdocs
. You would enter the return URL as:
http://
my_server/cfdocs/
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.
