I've created a CF based search engine for our new web site using Verity. The big issue I've encountered is creating and maintaining the index. Without HTML pages there are 795 PDF and Word files (about 98% PDF). I think with HTML pages included the number rises to about 1940 files.
I've tried using plain old CFINDEX stuff like UPDATE and REFRESH and I've also had a crack at it with CF_PATHINDEX but at the end of the day it seems a big struggle and invariably the process is not completing. I would have thought that using CF_PATHINDEX it would have worked better because I am able to exclude a lot of the directories and stuff that I don't want indexed and therefore reduce the indexing load. On our soon to be decommissioned FreeBSD/Apache based facility UDM takes 102 seconds. Can anyone suggest any strategies for approaching indexing on this scale.
