Verity is simple to use, I assume Solr is similar. The instructions here are
for CF8.
Create an Index of your files, first decide where you want the INDEX files:
<cfcollection action="CREATE" collection="mySearchCollection" path="#full path
to the index directory#" />
Then point at the directory of files you want to put IN the index:
<cfindex action="UPDATE"
collection="mySearchCollection"
type="PATH"
key="#full path to the static files#"
urlpath="#root URL that will connect links to the files#"
extensions=".doc,.htm,.html,.pdf,.ppt,.pps,.txt,.xls"
language="English"
recurse="Yes"
status="verityStatus"
/>
Once that runs, you will have results of the indexing available in the
#verityStatus# struct, and you will have a collection on the server called
'mySearchCollection'. Note that the extensions param doesn't hit .cfc files.
To search the collection, it's about as easy:
<cfsearch collection="mySearchCollection"
name="searchQry"
criteria="#search term or phrase#"
contextpassages="1"
status="searchStatus"
suggestions="Always"
type="INTERNET"
/>
>From there, just work through the CF docs.

Subject: Setting up a Site Search
We have a site that is primarily static in nature and uses a custom tag for
wrapping header and footer content.� None of the pages are indexed in a
database, some are called in via cfincludes and a very few are called via AJAX.
We would like to create an search engine to find and display up-to-date content
from the main sections of our site - obviously we wouldn't want cfcs, udfs,
etc. to be displayed.� All we would want is the static content, PDFs, MS
files, etc.
Is it possible to use Google Search to achieve this or are we better off using
Verity?Solr?� From some of the posts I've read, there seems to be issues with
Verity in displaying content, speed, lack of documentation / how-to's, etc.
This seems like a fairly standard type of task.� Any suggestions are
appreciated.
Thanks
