RE: Verity - how to EXCLUDE a single file from the search?
Lex, Name all HTML files you DO NOT want included in the indexing as *.html and all files to include in the index as *.htm or *.cfm. Then only include the *.htm and *.cfm when you create the index.

RE: Verity - how to EXCLUDE a single file from the search?
If you are using CF 5.0 the Verity Spider can do this. You can configure it to exclude any number of individual files based on name, path or regular expression pattern matches. Caveat is that it only works on the Localhost address space. So if you are using host header redirection on your webserver you'll have to either assign localhost to that website or buy the full spider... Geesh... I'm starting to sound like the VSpider Zealot of the CF-Talk List... Am I that bad? ;^) Anyway, I did a presentation for this earlier this year. If any of you are interested in the information, you can find the presentation, some related Macromedia documentation (the Advanced CF5.0 Administration Guide in PDF format -- has all the goodies on K2 and the Verity Spider) and some demo batch files at http://www.spectrumastro.com/veritydemo/index.cfm Enjoy, Jeff Garza Lead Developer/Webmaster Spectrum Astro, Inc.

Title pretty much says it I need to EXCLUDE a single file from a Verity index. Anybody got a good way to do this? Basically, it's a framed site, and it's possible to pull up the navigation frame as one of the search results, since most of the main terms you'd be searching for exists in that frame! -- Les Mizzell - - People need to realize that every time they mention about how fragile our planet is, it's like asking outer-space aliens to come invade us.

Re: Verity - how to EXCLUDE a single file from the search?
Les, can you change the file extension on this file to something that won't get indexed? I've done that before, but depends on what it is, of course.

Les, can you change the file extension on this file to something that won't get indexed? I'm thinking of just moving the file in question to a directory outside the index parameters Would be nice to know a way to do it when using the CFCOLLECTION tag though -- Les Mizzell - - People need to realize that every time they mention about how fragile our planet is, it's like asking outer-space aliens to come invade us.

RE: Verity - how to EXCLUDE a single file from the search?
Cool new feature of ColdFusion 5 is that the Verity Spider is included as part of the distribution. The license is for localhost only. The Verity spider has some great capabilities to numerous to mention here, but here's a taste. The spider can use a command file to build the collection, one of the parameters is the capability of using a regular expression. The below is from the docs; -regexp Specifies the use of regular expressions rather than the default wildcard expressions for the following options: -exclude, -indexclude, -include, -indinclude, -skip, -indskip, -preferred, and -nofollow. Wildcard expressions allow the use of the asterisk ( * ) for text strings, and the question mark ( ? ) for single characters. This wildcard expression... Will apply to these text strings... a*t although, attitude, audit file?.htm files.htm, file1.htm, filer.htm name?.* names.txt, name.doc, named.blank, names.ext just search on spider in the docs.

RE: Verity - how to EXCLUDE a single file from the search?
Liz, Unfortunately on a shared host you are pretty much done... To effectively use the spider you'll need command line access as well as full access to the CF Administrator. Your best bet is to move it to an outside directory or if it's just plain old HTML rename it as an .inc file and CFINCLUDE it inside your nav page. When I've needed to do this in the past (and I was using 4.5) I would create a ColdFusion Mapping (is this possible with your host?) and put all my includes (header, footer, navigation) there. That way I was really only indexing the meat of the site. Good Luck! Jeff Garza Webmaster/Lead Developer Spectrum Astro, Inc.
