Paul,
Verity will index database content as well as a variety of documents. Check
out the cfindex type="custom" for the syntax for indexing databases. It
shouldn't be too much trouble to integrate your current text indeces with
the database content into one collection. When creating a collection, not
only do you have a KEY for the index - which in the case of the indexed
documents will be the path/filename of the indexed documents, but there are
2 extra fields - CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 which allow you to specify additional
criteria. For example, you could use CUSTOM1 to store a value indicating the
'class' of indexed item, e.g. FILE for indexed file, or the appropriate
tablename in the case of database content. This should allow you to choose
which types of data within the single collection to search on.
