Simplified Verity administration_10

Verity is the name of the company who invented the full-text search technology use by

ColdFusion MX, so full-text searching in ColdFusion is commonly referred to as "Verity

searching." A full-text search is what you perform on popular search sites like Google and

Yahoo, where you can search for a word or phrase, the search engine looks inside collections

containing billions of web pages for that word or phrase, and returns a weighted list of results

that most likely best fit what you're looking for.

Expansions to the Verity full-text search system have made managing a site that uses Verity

easier than ever. You can now obtain a list of all the Verity collections on your server (as well

as some extra metadata, such as where they are stored and whether they are K2 Server (a

high performance standalone Verity server) collections) by using the CFCOLLECTION tag, as

follows:

<cfcollection action="LIST" name="GetCollections">

ColdFusion MX offers new Verity-related functions and still more improvements over earlier

versions of ColdFusion.
