Creating summaries

As part of the indexing process, Verity automatically produces a summary of every

document file or every query result set that gets indexed. The default summarization

selects the best sentences, based on internal rules, up to a maximum of 500

characters. Summarization information is returned by default with every

cfsearch

operation. For more information on this topic, see the Knowledge Base article

“Verity Custom1, Custom2 and Summary Fields“ (ID# 1081) at

http://www.coldfusion.com/Support/KnowledgeBase/SearchForm.cfm.

The cfsearch tag returns the summary for each found document in the query

variable search_query.Summary. For example, to add a summary for each search

result returned by the collectionsearchaction.cfm page, change the cfoutput query

tag as follows:

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

#Summary#<br>

</cfoutput>

For information on an advanced summarization technique, see the Knowledge Base

article “Verity: Synchronizing information stored in Verity Collection” (ID# 1116) at

http://www.coldfusion.com/Support/KnowledgeBase/SearchForm.cfm.

cfsearch properties

Each cfsearch query object includes three variables that provide information about

the query:

•

RecordCount The total number of records returned by the query.

• CurrentRow The current row of the query being processed by cfoutput.

• RecordsSearched The total number of records in the index that were searched.

If no records were returned in the search, this property returns a null value.
