Chapter 3: Configuring ColdFusion Server 65

Populating a collection

Once you’ve created a collection, you can populate it with data from text and binary

files in a directory you specify. Data from a ColdFusion query can only be indexed

using the ColdFusion CFINDEX tag in a ColdFusion application page.

Verity Supported File Types

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.
