Verity has to build the index before you can search it - therefore, as long
as you tell it what to index in the database, it'll do it
<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="myDSN">
select ID, Body
from myTable
order by Title desc
</cfquery>
<cfindex collection="myVerity" action="update" type="custom" key="ID"
body="Body" query="myQuery">
Very simplified, but it'll do it for you
As long as you create the queries correctly, you can build/search anything
with Verity
