Veirty for pdf in MX

Does Verity work with pdf files well? I have many of pdf files, and want to give users the search function.

For instance, if they type in "vacation" on the search box, the page will need to bring up all of the pdf files containing "vacation".

Any suggestions?

Yes, just enter in a list of file extensions you would like to include in your cfindex tag or when you are setting up your index if you use the admin.

<cfindex
collection = "collection_name"
action = "action"
type = "type"
title = "title"
key = "ID"
body = "body"
custom1 = "custom_value"
custom2 = "custom_value"
custom3 = "custom_value"
custom4 = "custom_value"
category = "category_name"
categoryTree = "category_tree"
URLpath = "URL"
** extensions = ".PDF" <-------------------here
query = "query_name"
recurse = "yes" or "no"
language = "language"
status = "status"
prefix = "location of documents">

great!

Do you have an example of cf pages with Verity for pdf? I want to get a clearer picture how all pieces work together.

This is an example of indexing.

<cfset extensions = ".cfm,.htm,.html,.pdf">
<cfset collection = "myCollection">

<CFCOLLECTION ACTION="create"
                   COLLECTION="#VARIABLES.collection#"
                   PATH="D:\CFusionMX\verity\collections"
                   LANGUAGE="English">

<cfquery name="qry_getArticles" datasource="myDB">
      SELECT      ID, TITLE, BODY, INSERT_DATE
      FROM      ARTICLEs
      WHERE      APPROVED      =      1
      and insertdate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#dateadd('d',-90,now())#">
</cfquery>

<cfindex action="update"
             collection="#VARIABLES.collection#"
             key="ID"
             type="Custom"
             urlpath="http://www.mysite.com"
             title="TITLE"
             query="qry_getArticles"
             body="BODY, TITLE"
             custom1="Article"
             language="English"
