To perform a language specific Verity search, the LANGUAGE attribute must be specified in the tag. If no LANGUAGE is specified, ColdFusion will use the collection language (if specified, and will default to English if not). The same applies to indexing data using the tag. (Applies to: ColdFusion...
The integrated Verity search engine can be used to perform searches on non-English data - even supporting phrases, sentences, stem searches, and type handling. But the non-English support is not included out of the box. To support Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian,...
When using Verity to index database rows you must make sure that Verity knows the unique id of each row in your table (so that when you perform searches you'll know which rows match). As such, when indexing data with it is advisable to pass the primary key to the KEY attribute. (Applies to:...
The Verity search engine can be used to perform full-text searches against data in any database table. Indexing the data is a two step process: first the data must be returned in a query, and then that query must be passed to . The column names passed to the BODY attribute are the columns that will...
If indexed data contains typos, performing searches becomes difficult if not impossible - after all, text cannot be matched if it is spelled incorrectly. Or can it? Using to perform a Verity full-text search, and the Verity TYPO operator, you can perform searches that accommodate for errors....
exposes the power of the Verity search engine to your ColdFusion applications. One incredibly powerful (and seemingly infrequently used) feature is the ability to search for a word and any of its synonyms, thus allowing you to search for content by meaning. To use this feature use the THESAURUS...
does not delete entries from a verity collection. Rather, it flags them for deletion (preventing them from showing up in subsequent searches). To physically remove deleted entries from a collection you must purge those flagged entries with . (Applies to: ColdFusion All)
Verity searches (performed using ) return standard ColdFusion queries containing the search results. As such, to display the number of matches, you could simply refer to query.RecordCount (as you'd do with any query). But what if you wanted to also display the number of records searched (to be able...
Have a Verity collection created outside of ColdFusion? You can still access it within your CF code. To do so all you need to do is define an alias for that collection within the ColdFusion Administrator. Specify the alias (the name to be used within ColdFusion), enter the full path to the...
To search for database rows (or files) that contain two or more words by relative proximity, use a Verity collection, and search for data using the NEAR and NEAR/n operators. NEAR ensures that the words are no more than 1000 words from each other, NEAR/n lets you specify the maximum distance....
