I would like to get some feedback from what others have found using Verity,
with the vspider and the K2 Search Engine.
What I have found:
I am creating my collection using the mdvdk utility. This will not
allow the collection to be available thru the use of VDK mode. It will not
show up in the CF Administrator/Verity Collections window. I assume this is
due to the directory structure of the collection being somewhat different
when it is created with the mdvdk utility verses the <cfcollection> tag.
The mdvdk does not create the file and custom folders. It places all of the
style, parts and etc. folder right inside your collection. The collection
does show up in the CF Administrator/Verity Server/Server Managed
Collections page once the collection has been added to the K2server.ini
file.
1. Is there a reason I would be better off to use the <cfcollection> tag to
create my collection if I am not planning on using the VDK mode or
<cfindex>?
To me it seems it is creating unnecessary directory structures that
will not be used by the vspider. The custom and file path only get used
when using the <cfindex> tag.
2. I have the vspider working on the site. Its exclude features are a nice
addition. Am I missing something though? Is there a way to easily do
excludes with <cfindex>?
I have had no success with the -indinclude attribute when using the vspider.
My site has a section that is called through a javascript function. The
spider cannot follow this. It can still be called through a normal URL
though but there are no links to this anywhere on the site. I was hoping to
include this path with -indinclude but have had no success. The only way
I've gotten this to work is to start my spider in the "popup" section and
let it spider its way back to the main part of the site. This seems kind of
backwards though....
3. This is the way I would like my -cmdfile file to work: Does anyone see
something that is syntactically wrong?
-common d:\cfusion\verity\common
-collection d:\CFusion\Verity\collections\mycollection
-start http://localhost:98/
-indinclude http://localhost:98/popupSection (I've tried -include here as
well but no luck)
-indexclude http://localhost:98/popupSection/pdfs/*
4. Last question (for now) does the K2 server have to be restarted every
time a collection is refreshed or only the first time it is created for the
new information to be available to the K2 Search.
Thanks for your time
