This tag can be disabled from the administrator, so if it doesn't work then your host doesn't want you creating collections on their server.
I strongly recommend you talk to your hosting provider. > Secondly, I would like to limit the number of collections I create to > one (as the hosting company has to set them up, and some hosts limit the > number you can have - unless the answer to my first questions makes this > one moot).

If you're indexing files and data then it might be a bit tricky, but it will be possible. If you're indexing just files or just data, then you won't have any problems. Without knowing more about how your site is made up, where the information you want to index is coming from etc. its hard to make any concrete suggestions. But I will suggest that you look at how you can make best use of the two CUSTOM fields that you can set in CFINDEX and get back as part of the result set with CFSEARCH. Sorry that thats not a whole lot of help.
