CFSearch help
I just want to get CFSearch to return SOMETHING!
I hate sounding like a whiner who doesn't read the documentation - I have.
I've done the tutorials [url]http://tutorial121.easycfm.com/[/url]
and another one somewhere where the code didn't work...
I just can't get a verity search to work.
Here's how I understand it.
One creates a collection
one puts in text files (or queries) into the collection using cfindex
one uses Cfsearch to search for a word, and it returns the filename (or
something - not sure what the output should be)
So lets say i have a file named C:\test.txt with contents "this is my body"
How do i get cfsearch to search that text file??
Here's my attempt with what should be THE simplest possible code:
<cfcollection action="delete" collection="TestCol">
<cfcollection action="create" collection="TestCol" path="c:\">
<cfindex
action="update"
collection="testCol"
key="C:\Test.txt"
type="file">
<cfsearch collection="testCol" criteria="body" type="simple" name="ColSearch">
<cfdump var="#colSearch#">
But obviously it doesn't work.
Help Please. Just don't quote me the documentation.

The ScareCrow #2 Re: CFSearch help
I think you major problem is the location where you have saved th collection,
in this case "c:\"
But I think the cf server is set to look in "C:\CFusionMX\Verity\Collections\"
I have attached some sample code a page for each action. Create collection,
index collection and search collection

Create the Collection

Tom Jordahl #3 Re: CFSearch help
Try doing an "empty" search (criteria="") and it should return a query
object with all of the documents in the collection. Use <cfdump var="#q#">
to see the result (which you put in q).
If you get nothing in the query, the index didn't work. Use the new CFMX 7
cfindex "status" attribute and cfdump that out to see any error messages.
Hope this gets you going along with the sample code posted by "The
ScareCrow".
