Developing ColdFusion Applications

Chapter 15
Indexing and Searching Data

You can provide a full-text search capability for documents and data sources on a ColdFusion site by enabling the Verity search engine.

ColdFusion 5 supports two Verity search engines: the default Verity search engine (VDK mode) and a restricted version of the Verity K2 Server. The ColdFusion installation and administration documentation provides information about using both engines. ColdFusion CFML tags for the two engines are identical except for how you specify the collection and external tag attributes.

This chapter provides and overview of how use the Verity search engines to index and search data for your application.
