274 Chapter 15 Indexing and Searching Data
If you checked the option to install the ColdFusion documentation, the
documentation collection is listed by default. The Verity engine is used to search
the online documents.
2 In the top section of the page, enter a name for the collection.
3 Enter a path for the directory location of the new collection.
By default, new collections are added to \Cfusion\Verity\Collections\ in
Windows and /opt/coldfusion/verity/collections in UNIX.
4 If you have an International Language Search Pack installed, you can select a
language other than English for the collection from the drop-down list.
5 Make sure Create a new collection is selected.
6 Click Submit Changes.
When the collection is created, the name and full path of the new collection
appear in the Verity Collections list at the top of the page.
Enabling access to an existing collection
You can easily enable access to a collection on the network by creating a local
reference (an alias) for that collection. The collection only needs to be a valid Verity
collection; it does not matter whether the collection was created within ColdFusion
or another tool.
Use the following procedure to enable access to an existing collection.
To add an existing collection:
1 Open the ColdFusion Administrator Verity Collections page.
2 In the top section of the ColdFusion Administrator Verity Collections page, enter
the collection alias.
3 Enter the full path to the collection.
4 Select a language, if needed.
5 Click Map an existing collection.
6Click Submit Changes.
Creating a collection with the cfcollection tag
Creating and maintaining collections from a CFML application eliminates the need
to access the ColdFusion Administrator. You might prefer this technique if you need
to schedule collection creation. It also allows you to allow users to create collections
without exposing them to the ColdFusion Administrator.
