You can find the information in the CF5.0 documentation (if you installed it). Under Advanced ColdFusion Administration -> Advanced Verity Tools -> Verity Spider.
You can set it up as follows: 1) Create an empty collection using the VDK tools in the CF Admin. 2) Add the appropriate parameters to your k2server.ini file. 3) Launch the spider from the command prompt using the appropriate options. The documentation is pretty weak but there is one thing you'll need to do. Make sure that you supply the -prefixmap <sometextfile> option otherwise, the spider will run through your site, index your documents but not supply a URL. START prefixmap.txt vdkvgwkey http://localhost CF_KEY http://Yoursite/somedir/someotherdir/etc URL http://localhost CF_URL http://Yoursite/somedir/someotherdir/etc END prefixmap.txt Map the CF_Key and CF_URL to whatever point in your site that you start the spider. Also, I strongly recommend using the -cmdfile option. It helps immensely Good Luck, Jeff Garza Lead Developer/Webmaster Spectrum Astro, Inc. 480.892.8200 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spectrumastro.com -----Original Message----- From: Jason Larson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 12:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Using CFDirectory to Search html files Where can I find some info on Verity Site Spider, I briefly looked in the CF 5.0 Admin panel and I can't find anything that refers to Verity Site Spider.

I have a directory full of html files that are produced by a cgi script. I want to be able to search the html files without using a verity search. Is it possible to query the contents of the html files using cfdirectory then search that query produced by cfdirectory with a search string? Any other suggestions, in how to accomplish this?
