Creating a search tool for ColdFusion applications

There are three main tasks in creating a search tool for your ColdFusion application:

Create a collection.
Index the collection.
Design a search interface.

You can perform each task programmatically--that is, by writing CFML code. Alternatively, you can use the ColdFusion MX Administrator to create and index the collection. Also, HomeSite+ has a Verity Wizard that generates ColdFusion pages that index the collection and design a search interface. The following table summarizes the steps and available methods for creating the search tool:

Step	CFML	ColdFusion MX Administrator	Verity Wizard
Creating a collection	Yes	Yes	No
Indexing a collection	Yes	Yes	Yes
Designing a search interface	Yes	No	Yes

This chapter presents the non-code methods for developing a search tool, followed by code examples that perform the same task. If you have HomeSite+ and access to the ColdFusion MX Administrator, the fastest development method is as follows:

Create the collection with the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
Use the Verity Wizard to index the collection and design a search interface.
