Hi Magnus, I've also come across this working with search collections, I don't use the adminstrator to create them though, instead favouring the search collection functions in OpenBD. Search collections need to be listed in the bluedragon.xml, especially if you have to restart your server -- the search collection files will be created in the bluedragon working directory unless you specify a path, but without a reference in the bluedragon.xml they don't get recognised on startup or if OpenBD is already running. If you create a collection, then restart OpenBD, the collection will be there, but the engine has always needed an entry added in bluedragon.xml and a restart to pick up on them in my experience.
collectionList() is useful for viewing which collections you have, collectionCreate( name="collection1" ) is all you really need to get going, same arguments as the fields you see in your screenshot of the administrator -- http://openbd.org/manual/?/function/category/search has plenty of info on the search collection functions. Here's an example bluedragon.xml entry, goes in at the same level as system, file, cfquery etc. <server> <system>...</system> <file>...</file> <cfcollection> <collection name="collection1"> <name>collection1</name> <storebody>false</storebody> <relative>false</relative> <path>$/path/to/working/directory</path> <language>english</language> </collection> </cfcollection> <cfquery>etc...</cfquery> </server> Admittedly it's not the most straightforward workflow but once it's done, it does work. The one caveat is creating collections dynamically, you can create them but the corresponding bluedragon.xml entry is still a manual process and as such you lose the reference to them following a restart if you don't add them in. Hopefully this'll get you going with searches again!
