It's worth pointing out that if you specify a key, it MUST be unique. There's no stress on this point, but it's very important. Additionally, if you fail to make it unique, there's no indication that's the cause - your searches will simply fail to perform like you'd expect.

I am interested in Dean's solution as well. I am trapping Spam, and want to use verity collections to search through the trapped spam. The problem is that each piece of trapped spam comes in the form of two files, a Q*.smd file and a D*.smd file. I only need to search the D*.smd files, so I want to omit the Q*.smd files from my index. Since d*.smd was unusable as an extension in the CFINDEX, on my last attempt to solve this I created a CFDIRECTORY query with a functional filter, and used that to drive a CFOUTPUT to CFINDEX each individual file that I was interested in. This took forever, and was thus unusable.

Dean, did you ever solve your problem?

I am using a query to get some filenames from a database (These files reside in several directories, and only a number of files is to be indexed). The query returns roughly 180 files (about 28 megs in size).

I then use a <cfoutput> to loop around the results of the query, and inside that a <cfindex> to index the particular file on each row of the query. This means the the <cfindex> is run once, for each file returned.

This is a highly unreliable script - and often does not finish running (thus it does not work). Is there a reason for this? Is it not advisable to run a large number (if 180 is large!) <cfindex>'s at a time? If this is the problem, are there any alternatives? Basically, I need files that have a set prefix indexed (the prefix might be "sd_", thus any file with "sd_" as the first 3 chars of its filename needs to be indexed - the rest should not be.)

Looking for a solution,

Dean

Purge deletes all keys from a collection. Refresh deletes all keys from a collection, then updates it.

This is clearer in subsequent versions of the documentation.

What is the difference between purge and refresh?

200 MB appears to be way over the practical limit, at least according to the technote at http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn1728-3.htm

The recently upgraded LiveDocs system allows inline replies. Before that most responses were offline.

Anyone ever answer?

We're having a heck of a time indexing a site - it always times out, no matter how long we sent RequestTimeOut to.

Is there a size limit of what you can index with the Verity engine that ships with CF? We're trying to index about 200MB of .htm (text only) files.
