Hi Brian,
I agree that verity is "under documented" and would further add that
(possibly as a result) its underutilized. Please see my post from earlier
today about verity for some extra hints. To answer your questions:
1) Yes! You can incrementally add new items one-at-a-time to your verity
indexes. Its very simple: You just use the UPDATE action to update your
already-existing collection with the new item. Just make sure that your new
item has a unique key.
2)Yes! Its possible to do cross-collection searches with Verity. In your
CFSEARCH use commas to separate the names of each of the collections you
want to search for your results.
3)I really don't think there's a way to highlight text. This is something
you could concoct using
Regular Expressions and some HTML code to bring out the searched words.
Hopefully someone else on this list can give you an easier way.
Hope this helps you,
Eron Cohen

Subject: a couple things
just a few questions because you all have been great so far:
I'm using Verity to do database searches for our site. (especially our
forums)
Using Verity, is there a method to do updates on a catalog incrementally
(only new updates) etc.?
Also is it possible to do cross catalog searches?
And finally, does Verity support the feature that would highlight the
matching words in the resulting page?
thanks in advance
I'm saddened by the lack of documentation for Verity. I downloaded and
printed the 102 page Verity Personal manual but I didn't find that very
useful. The CF documentation for Verity only devotes about 3 pages for
database searches. But I did order the WACK, its on the way, and I hope it
has something of substance in it.
