Hello Jonathan, I had a problem with Verity and a certain set of PDFs on MX7. I've experimented hard, but with no resolution. I lot of people who use Mac's and cf favour apache lucene. There are quite a few examples out of using cf with lucene. I downloaded them code and followed the getting started and it's all pretty transparent and works well. I intend to compare the CF8 implementation alongside Lucene to under the complexity and likely results for my application. Hopefully I will do this soon. Not sure how much help this is to you, but you might want to give lucene a go.
My approach to scheduled jobs would be have the job write a log file. I do this and write out execution times, records counts etc and then use cfmail to mail me the result. If anything fails I can then pin-point exactly where the failure occurred. Quite often I might find I have to alter timeout settings in CFADMIN to stop scripts from abandoning. Bear in mind that the process of logging may add significantly to execution times depending on how much you log.

Thanks for the pointer about the STATUS attribute. A little googling and I find out it's described on a ColdFusion 8 man page, and says it was introducted in MX 7. So far so good. Hopefully it will make things a little less opaque. I am aware of the table of formats Verity is said to read. I'm wondering if it is up to date (than say the cfindex man page;-) I take a collection and index it using the Administrator against a single directory with two .html files and a .doc file. No matter how I play around with the extensions, I either get the 2 .html files indexed, or none of them. The .doc file is from 2000 and I believe it is Word 95, so it should work, although I suppose there could be some reformatting or something along the line... As for the scheduled jobs, they are within a mail tag that works fine if I dummy the cfindex calls. From some other threads here I suspect our collections are simply too large. I saw 10,000 being passed around as a limit.
