Introduction

The Cold Fusion Verity Fuel Pack allows you to index and search documents and databases. The fuel pack consists of two Cold Fusion Markup Language (CFML) custom tags and the Cold Fusion Verity Administrator.

The Verity Fuel Pack is based on the Verity Inc. SEARCH’97 searching and indexing application. Using the Cold Fusion Verity Fuel Pack, you can equip your Cold Fusion applications with a powerful search engine, giving your users intelligent access to vast amounts of information. 

The Verity search engine performs searches against collections. These collections consist of indexed data that the engine uses to present search results. You generate collections by first selecting data you want indexed, and then using the Cold Fusion Verity Administrator or the CFX_INDEX custom tag to produce the Verity collection. Searches against Verity collections are carried out using the CFX_SEARCH custom tag. You use the CFOUTPUT tag to present results of the search to the client browser.
