Note

To use cfsearch to search a Verity K2 Server collection, the collection attribute

must be the collection’s unique alias name as defined in the k2server.ini and the

external attribute must be "No" (the default).

To present the results of the search to the user:

1 Create a new file in ColdFusion Studio.

2 Modify the file so that it appears as follows:

<html>

<head>

<title>Search output page</title>

</head>

<body>

<cfsearch name="Search1"

collection="#form.collection#"

form type="#form.type#"

criteria="#form.searchstring#">

<h2>Search Results</h2>

#Search1.RecordCount# found out of

#Search1.RecordsSearched# searched.

</cfoutput>

<a href="#Search1.URL#">#Search1.title#</a><br>

</cfoutput>
