cfsearch 381
category Optional A list of categories, separated by commas, to which
the search is limited. If specified, and the collection
does not have categories enabled, ColdFusion
throws an exception.
categoryTree Optional The location in a hierarchical category tree at which
to start the search. ColdFusion searches at and
below this level. If specified, and the collection does
not have categories enabled, ColdFusion throws an
exception. Can be used in addition to the
category
attribute.
status Optional Specifies the name of the structure variable into
which ColdFusion places search information,
including alternative criteria suggestions (spelling
corrections). For a list of keys in this structure, see
“Status structure keys” on page 384.
type Optional simple Used to specify the parser that Verity uses to process
the criteria.
• simple: STEM and MANY operators are implicitly
used.
• explicit: operators must be invoked explicitly. Also
known as Bool_Plus.
• internet: for documents that are mostly WYSIWIG
(what-you-see-is-what-you-get) documents. Also
known as Internet_advanced.
• internet_basic: minimizes search time.
• natural: specifies the Query By Example (QBE)
parser. Also known as FreeText.

uppercase or all lowercase, the search is case-
insensitive. Follow Verity syntax and delimiter
character rules; see Chapter 25, “Using Verity
Search Expressions” in ColdFusion MX Developer’s
Guide.
