After you create a collection, use the Verity Collections page to populate (or index) it, with data from text and binary files, in a directory that you specify. A collection comprises metadata that describes indexed documents. Data from a ColdFusion query can be indexed only by using the ColdFusion cfindex tag.
In the list of Verity Collections, click the name of the collection or its Index Collection button. The Index Verity Collections page appears.
Review the extensions in the File Extensions field. You can add, edit, or remove extensions for files in the collection.
In the Directory Path field, enter the path to a directory to index. To locate and enter a path, click Browse Server.
To include subdirectories of the specified directory, select the Recursively Index Sub Directories option.
(Optional) In the Return URL field, enter the URL prefix used to display documents found in the search in a browser.
For example, if you index the ColdFusion documentation directory, the directory you index could be:
C:\CFusion8\wwwroot\cfdocs
You would enter the return URL as:
http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/
This assumes that you are using the built-in web server on port 8500.
Click Submit. ColdFusion populates the collection with data from the specified directory. Then the Verity Collections page appears.
To close the page without saving changes, click Cancel.
