Dave Watt's answer is exactly the same as Perry's response.
Also, as Dave quite rightly says, using verity to index a fusebox site is no
different to using verity on a CF site built using any other method or lack
of method.
The templates that you hold in display folders in a FB2,XFB or FB3 site
SHOULD NOT contain any content. The are _templates_ for the content which
you have in a database. It is the database content that you need to index
using verity. If you know how your application works, then you will be able
search the verity collection and return the appropriate information to be
able to display the template with the content included.
If you have static content in your website, then should be maintaining that
content in a separate folder in your web structure, possibly even separated
totally from all accessible areas of the application/web site. In this
instance, you should know how your application accesses that static
information and be able to index the files using verity and provide the
appropriate fuseactions and parameters to display the static content
correctly from the search results.
I've attached Dave Watt's emails from the CF-Talk mailing list. They
contain good information on indexing files and data.

Verity should work just as well with Fusebox apps as with any other CF apps.
However, you'll need to understand how Verity works. So, you'll want to read
the Verity documentation that comes with CF. You can read the copy on your
CF server if it's there, or in CF Studio, or download it here in PDF form:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/documentation.html
Note that there's documentation for CF MX and CF 5, although there isn't
much different between the two when it comes to the basics of using Verity.
In either case, select the appropriate "Developing Applications with
ColdFusion" document. The section you'll want to read is called "Indexing
and Searching Data". In addition, if you're interested in using advanced
Verity features, like the K2 server and the Verity spider, you can read
about those by selecting the "Working with Verity Tools" CF MX doc or the
"Advanced ColdFusion Administration" CF 5 doc, or by reading the
presentation here:
http://www.cfugorama.com/cfugorama/codelibrary/verityk2.cfm
Also, the basic use of Verity is covered in some detail in the Advanced
ColdFusion Development course offered by Macromedia and MM authorized
training partners like Fig Leaf.

Yes, you can either omit the EXTENSIONS attribute entirely, or you can use
this:
<cfindex ... extensions="*.,.txt">
In the above example, this will get files with no extension, or with the
".txt" extension, but won't get files with other extensions.
