You may have to code/develop something using the Verity SDK but I am not sure what is available with the OEM version which ships with ColdFusion.

The >K2 engine is much better in many respects, and if I recall correctly, CFMX >6.x uses K2 instead of VDK. I don't realy recall any specific choice that I made. K2 sounds the most familiar, but that may be because it's used in later versions of CF. >If you want to search PDFs using SQL Server's full-text functionality, you >can do that with a little work: > >http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611 Interesting link, I'll look into that. >However, I don't know how well that works with large numbers of PDF >documents, since I haven't done it myself. If not for the PDF part, I'd >unhesitatingly recommend SQL Server full-text indexing over Verity. Well the thing that bugs me the most of the SQL Server full-text search is the fact that it doesn't search on parts of words. I can't really think of a good example in English, but Dutch works just as well (only you don't understand the words): Take these three words that appear in texts of different pages: zetel, zetels, restzetel(s). Now if you search for 'zetel' you are presented with the pages with 'zetel' and 'zetels' if you use a prefix (*) notation in your CONTAINS. However restzetel or restzetels does not come up at all. LIKE '%zetel%' would of course yield all of these results, which is a desired result, but of course I would like a ranking kinda like this: zetel > zetels > restzetel > restzetels. Well.. that being said, I guess I'll have to look into verity again. See if the results are somewhat better this time.
